In Episode 14 we cover the controversial topic of photography in wedding dress appointments. 10 years ago, we stopped allowing photographs completely, and Emma discusses why this was so important and why guests taking their own photos can be so damaging - for both the bride and the boutique.

Things have changed over recent years, with Emma now offering mini content creation sessions at appointments, which comes with its own pros and cons.

Towards the end of the episode we also briefly cover photos that boutique owners take themselves - are 'say yes to the dress' photos beneficial for your boutique, and should you be wearing your own dresses to take a quick snap to fill a space on your grid?
