This experience, priced at $65 per person, offers a one-hour session with high-quality photo delivery within a week. While it’s not a full-fledged sightseeing tour, it’s a unique way to document your visit with a skilled photographer who knows how to find the best angles and backgrounds in this vibrant city.
What we love about this experience is its flexibility — you can choose from a variety of locations, including some lesser-known spots that aren’t on most tourist itineraries.

What to Expect from the Montreal Photo Session

When booking this experience with Fernando Herrera, you’re signing up for a tailored photographic adventure in Montreal’s most captivating or lesser-known spots. The process begins by selecting a preferred location — whether a scenic park, historic neighborhood, or urban street scene — or letting Fernando suggest the best spots based on your interests.
The shoot lasts about an hour, during which Fernando will work with you to capture natural, flattering poses and candid moments. The advantage of a professional photographer is they understand how to make you look your best against Montreal’s backdrop, whether it’s the vibrant street murals of the Plateau, the historic charm of Old Montreal, or a quiet corner with a view of the city skyline. According to reviews, Fernando is attentive, patient, and accommodating, which helps create a relaxed atmosphere that translates into authentic photos.
If you opt for the drone video, this will likely be a short clip showcasing the area from above, adding a dynamic element to your collection. This feature depends on the weather and location, but when available, it offers a distinctive souvenir that’s perfect for social media or a personal keepsake.
Once your session concludes, you’ll wait about 7 days to receive your 10 edited photos, delivered digitally. The process is straightforward, and many reviews praise Fernando for his professionalism and extra time — one traveler noted, “He even gave me more time than was established,” which shows genuine dedication.

The Locations and Their Charm

One of the most appealing aspects of this photo experience is its flexibility. You can choose familiar Montreal landmarks or go off the beaten path. For example, a session centered around Old Montreal might offer peaceful alleyways, historic architecture, and cobblestone streets—perfect for romantic or family photos. Alternatively, more modern or quirky neighborhoods like the Plateau or Mile End can feature colorful murals and lively street scenes.
The ability to customize your location is a big plus. If you have a favorite spot or a hidden corner that speaks to you, Fernando can accommodate. Otherwise, he’s happy to recommend scenic, less touristy places that will give your photos a genuine Montreal vibe.
Authentic Experiences and Real Praise from Travelers

Reviewers consistently highlight the quality of Fernando’s work and his personable approach. One traveler from France called it a “wonderful experience, even in the rain,” which suggests that weather might not be a dealbreaker — Fernando could adapt to less-than-perfect conditions. Another praised Fernando as “an exceptional photographer,” noting his patience and willingness to give extra time.
These reviews underscore the value of having a professional’s eye on your photos, especially in a city as photogenic as Montreal. You’ll love the way the photos turn out, thanks to Fernando’s skill at capturing natural expressions and the perfect lighting.
