Pond plants

We would love some help, just today finished our pond its only small but fits the bill for wildlife we hope, with a deeper section to prevent freezing and a sloping side onto gravel for an escape/entry route however its looking a little barren the area that is being used for the pond hasnt got much growing apart from a little apple tree, so the question is what would you recommend? We dont plan on adding fish as we would quite like some frogs and the area is mainly shaded so nothing that needs too much sun please We're thinking in and out of the pond planting wise and would like to encourage wildlife and want to keep it native Sorry if I'm asking a bit much here but any help would be appreciated
