Do You Know About Paint Photo?

Have you heard of the popular "Paint Photo" that has been trending in wedding photography for a few years?

Paint Photo is a type of photography where the bride and groom wear pure white clothing and paint each other using colorful paints.＊

It also seems to imply, "since the wedding dress will get dirty with paint, we'll only wear it once"🎨 (Of course, I think very few people actually do Paint Photo with a real wedding dress...!)

In this article, we'll explain in detail how to do Paint Photo.♡

What Should the Bride and Groom Wear?

When doing Paint Photo, it's common to prepare pure white clothing that makes the paint stand out🤍

🤵🏻‍♂️ Men typically wear a white shirt with chinos

👰🏻‍♀️ Women usually wear a white dress or a white one-piece

Some people choose casual outfits like a shirt dress or matching white overalls.＊

Since the clothes will only be worn once due to the paint, many people use old white shirts or dresses they already own.

When purchasing, men can find affordable options at Uniqlo or GU. It's recommended that women look for cute and inexpensive wedding dresses or one-pieces on Rakuten.♡

(All of these dresses can be purchased for under 5,000 yen on Rakuten!)

What Paint Should You Use?

For Paint Photo, it's best to use watercolor paints that are easy to wash off your hands and body.

A particularly popular choice is Pentel's "Finger Paint," which is designed for children to use for finger painting (about 1,000 yen per tube).

✅ Beautiful coloring

✅ Easy to wash off

✅ Tube type for easy dispensing

✅ Comes in large quantities

✅ Light, thick texture

✅ Meets safety standards even if ingested

This paint is highly favored for these reasons.

If you want it to look pretty, you can also transfer the paint into cute bottles.♡

Other preparations include:

✅ Brushes (a few thicker ones are useful)

✅ Palette (a regular palette or a wooden cutting board can also work stylishly)

✅ Change of clothes

✅ Canvas board or acrylic (for making handprints or collaborative art!)

Just these items will suffice.♡

Where to Shoot? What About the Photographer?

Since Paint Photo involves using paint, it is not suitable for studios.

✅ Beach

✅ Large park

✅ Wooded area

Let's find a place with few people where it won't be a bother and can be cleaned up quickly.

It’s recommended to hire a photographer who specializes in location photo shoots.

You can consult with a LINE advisor from marry to get recommendations for shooting teams and plans, so feel free to ask!💬

The Process of Paint Photo

Next, let’s introduce our recommended flow for conducting Paint Photo.＊

➀ Start with regular photos before you begin painting.♡

@wedding_mi0205

② Take photos together with the paints after announcing "We’re going to do Paint Photo!"♡

@_tsubasa_photo

③ Instead of diving straight into bold painting, it’s recommended to start with a theme, such as painting hearts.🎨

For example, draw on each other’s backs with words like "husband," "wife," or your names, or characters that represent each other.＊

@____hii411

It’s also a good idea to start by making handprints! (These can be used for a welcome board too!)

④ Gradually paint on each other...

Draw a small mark on the face...

Or boldly paint down the neck!

Let’s have fun with the shoot!♡

@____hii411

⑤ Once finished, take full-body photos!

@____hii411

【Bonus】 Displaying the painted clothing and photos in your welcome space is also a wonderful idea!♡
