We Help you Discover the Perfect Claridges Wedding Photographer in London


We are Fineshade Studios, a Northamptonshire-based husband and wife wedding photography team. Having grown up in this beautiful county, we’ve spent the past eight years capturing over 100 weddings here. Our name, Fineshade Studios, is inspired by the picturesque Fineshade Woods—one of our favourite places to explore with a camera and the spot where Martin (unfortunately!) broke his back mountain biking in 2016. Our daughters go to school in Oundle and this is where we have our home.


With our experiences, we’d love to share our insights to help with your Claridges wedding planning.

Why Claridges is Perfect for Wedding Photography


When hosting an event at Claridge’s Hotel in Mayfair, it is crucial to leverage the venue's rich history and exquisite ambiance to create a memorable experience for your guests. First, consider utilising the iconic Ballroom, which embodies the elegance of the Roaring Twenties; its art deco features set a stunning backdrop for both lavish celebrations and intimate gatherings. Ensure you complement this historical charm by incorporating themed decor or entertainment that reflects the hotel’s storied past, adding an engaging layer to the event. Secondly, take advantage of the hotel’s offer of a complimentary suite for your wedding night for guest lists of 60 and above; this thoughtful gesture not only enhances the overall experience for you and your partner but also leaves a lasting impression on your guests, showcasing the personalised service that Claridge’s is renowned for.

The Art of Wedding Photography at Claridge’s

Wedding photography is more than capturing images—it’s about telling a story. At Fineshade Studios, we believe in creating elegant, emotive visuals that reflect the essence of your day. Shooting at Claridge’s, one of London’s most iconic venues, allows us to craft timeless heirlooms in a setting defined by sophistication and style.


Lighting: Enhancing Claridge’s Timeless Glow

Claridge’s offers a symphony of light, from the grandeur of its Art Deco interiors to the soft window-lit suites that radiate elegance. We’re drawn to the ambient warmth of the venue, using its golden tones and subtle shadows to create imagery that feels cinematic and romantic. Light is our brushstroke—bringing each moment to life with depth and warmth.


Composition: Elegance Framed in London Luxury

Our composition draws inspiration from the refined symmetry and classic opulence of Claridge’s. Whether it’s a first look beneath crystal chandeliers or portraits on marble staircases, we balance geometry, emotion, and narrative. Every frame is designed with intentionality—combining modern storytelling with timeless artistry.


Detail Shots: Honouring the Finer Things

A Claridge’s wedding is rich with luxurious detail. From couture bridal fashion to bespoke tablescapes and vintage champagne flutes, every element speaks to personal taste and tradition. We document these exquisite touches with care, capturing the textures, tones, and style that define your day—and your legacy.


Candid Moments: Honest, Beautiful Emotion

The most powerful photographs often arise in the unguarded moments. A quiet exchange of glances, joyful laughter echoing through the ballroom, the soft tears of a parent—we are there, unobtrusively capturing the authenticity of your celebration. Our approach is intuitive and heartfelt, allowing real emotions to take centre stage.


Post-Processing: Polished to Perfection

At Fineshade Studios, post-production is where storytelling and artistry converge. We enhance every frame with a subtle hand—refining colour, contrast, and clarity while preserving the mood of the moment. The result is a curated collection of timeless imagery, finished with elegance and finesse.


Preserving Love Stories in the Heart of London

At Claridge’s, tradition meets grandeur—and it’s the perfect setting to begin your forever. Entrusting us with your wedding means allowing us to tell your story with sincerity, artistry, and heart. From the elegance of Mayfair to the intimacy of each shared glance, we are here to create a visual legacy that will be cherished for generations.
