Change date of scanned photos (no metadata) in Photos album

I have photos from a trip taken in 2000 that have been scanned into a Photos album. I have the beginning and ending date of the trip and would like that to be the date shown since I don't actually know the date of each photo. Right now the date being shown is the date they were scanned. I would like it to be May 23-June 5, 2000. Is that possible?

iMac (2017 – 2020)

As Matti Haveri suggested, here is a Script from léonie that should do what you want.

You put the pictures in the order you want, set a date for the first one, and it copies that date to all the following selected pictures with a 1 minute increment in between to keep them in order. You just copy the script into the AppleScript editor, "Script Editor.app" and run it. Instructions are in the link above.
