I’m so glad that I managed to work with Katie! We organised a bridal shoot together and agreed that an urban London location would really work with the aesthetic!

The dress Katie made for our shoot was so beautiful, you can see how much work she puts into her designs. Her comms were amazing, she kept me updated until the date, sending me photos of how the dress was coming along (and step by step how to put it on!).

It was great to have the pleasure of modelling one of Katie’s designs, I hope I can do it again sometime! X

I feel very lucky to have found katie and been part of a shoot using her amazing designs. Communication was great I loved sharing ideas and we had a great plan in place for the shoot. During the shoot katie was so easy to work with and really easy going.

Her dresses are beautiful they looked amazing on the model and moved beautifully.

I would love to work with her again I cant wait to see her next designs. She is going to go far.

I am so glad Katie came to my attention and agreed to work with me on a bridal/ fashion shoot, because she is a truly talented individual.

Her comms before the shoot we so appreciated, as she was constantly in touch with ideas and updates. She even found us our location, some gorgeous fields behind her home, and took detailed photographs of them.

Katie's designs are absolutely incredible - and I could tell this from the consistent updates she gave us on their evolution - but seeing them in person they were on a whole new level. They fit me like a glove, accentuated my curves perfectly, and looked stunning. They could have been designer gowns!

On our shoot Katie was kind enough to give us all lifts to/ from the station and allow us to use her lovely home as a base. Not only that, she made us snacks and was an excellent host. Her help when I was actually in front of the camera was invaluable too, including taking lots of BTS. She is not only a brilliant designer, but a lovely, friendly woman.

Katie is already so talented and I know she will continue to grow and go far in her career. I hope to help her on the journey and to wear her designs once more!

Thank you again Katie.

I got to work with Katie earlier this week on a fashion in location theme booked with Ria Fantastic. I found Katie’s pre comma to be spot on, with screen shots of the designs, an open mind and flexibility when our photo shoot plans evolved.

On the day she was a joy to collaborate with, warm and very hospitable, open to ideas and bubbling with ideas of her own, I felt we were both on the same page.

Her gowns are out of this world beautiful and I consider it a real pleasure to have had the chance to photograph some of her designs.

I’d not hesitate to work with Katie again in the chance arose and would highly recommend working with her if you get the chance :)

Kate has been kind enough to provide clothes for three recent shoots.

Lovely clothes - the models were delighted to wear them. The pieces were very well packed so they arrived in perfect condition. And Kate's communications and instructions have always been very good and very clear.

It's been a pleasure to deal with her.

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Katie and getting to wear her wonderful bespoke brid dresses. She is so lovely and her dresses are so unique and beautiful!!

Highly recommended! I hope I can work with her again soon!

Very punctual, easy to work with and a super set of bespoke wedding outfits. Downtime was minimal and a good number of photos taken. I will willingly work with Makatza again on the next set of outfits.

Katie's communication prior the shoot was very professional providing me with all the necessary details about the shoot.
