Reviews for Fineshade Studios
Couldn’t recommend more!
Outstanding!
Memories captured beautifully
What I loved most is how she blended into the day. It never felt staged or forced.
If you’re looking for someone who is friendly and genuinely talented… able to get gorgeous photos without making you feel awkward or posed, I couldn’t recommend Danielle enough.
The Perfect Team for the Best Day of Our Lives!
They captured the energy of our wedding perfectly and made us feel like stars in our own little movie. Their support throughout the whole process, even after the wedding, has been amazing and genuinely appreciated.
Thank you, Fineshade - especially Danielle and Erin - for not only documenting our day so beautifully, but for adding to the magic of it. We couldn’t have asked for better.

BOOK THEM! You will be over the moon!
A simple Masterpiece! Our wedding captured by people who truly care!
Beyond incredible!
From the moment they arrived, their presence was a genuine source of calm and warmth. They have an almost magical ability to blend into the background, capturing every important moment—and countless moments we didn't even realize were happening—with such grace and artistic vision. They put everyone at ease, and we never once felt like we were "on camera." Their energy was so light and joyful; it truly felt like having two trusted friends documenting our most important day.
The final result is something spectacular. They didn't just record the events; they captured the atmosphere, the emotion, and the true spirit of our wedding. The quality, the editing, and the storytelling are all flawless and exceed anything we could have hoped for.
If you are looking for videographers who are professional, incredibly talented, and genuinely wonderful people who will enhance your wedding day experience rather than simply document it, hire Danielle and Martin. Thank you both for giving us the greatest gift—the ability to relive our wedding day exactly as it felt.
Incredible photographers who really captured our day
We had a great video call with FS ahead of time to walk through the day, any special planned moments/ focus points and timings.
It didn’t feel like we had photographers taking photos all day, they quietly caught so many magic moments that we LOVED. They really caught the fun of our wedding and the joy we shared together with our loved ones. The style they applied before releasing them (a really easy private website) made us look like movie stars 🤩 . We have our pictures printed and framed around the house now, also gifted to family. We’ll truly treasure the day through how FS captured it, THANK YOU!

Meet the team
We are Danielle and Martin, a husband and wife team, based in Oundle, Northamptonshire where we reside happily with our three daughters.
We have known each other since the early ninties as we attended the same school and even dated through sixth form and into university. Fast-forward to March 2017 when Fineshade Studios sprouted its first tendrils of life whilst we were planning our own wedding for the August of the same year. This marked start of a new chapter in our lives and the welcoming of our fourth baby has brought us over 8 years of creative adventures and a sense of fulfilment we could only have dreamed of.
Our backgrounds are deeply woven in film, literature and photography, with a collective two decades of teaching at GCSE and A Level. Martin, with his impressive background in music technology, adds a cool, rhythmic & methodical touch to our work, whilst Danielle, a Literature post-grad, brings artistic, authentic storytelling and a genuine love for humanity.
