Bart Kerswell Photography

I’m Bart — a Coventry-based wedding photographer who specialises in relaxed, documentary-style wedding photography. My work is rooted in a simple idea: your wedding day should be lived, not posed for. Couples come to me because they’d rather spend their day with friends and family than stand in front of a camera. I quietly blend into the background and capture the laughter, the tears, the little details and the big moments as they happen. My approach is natural and unobtrusive. About 90% of the time I work like a guest with a camera, allowing moments to unfold without interruption. I’ll step in for essential group photos and a short portrait session when the timing feels right, but otherwise I’m there to document the atmosphere and emotion of your day. This reportage mindset means you end up with a gallery of professional wedding photos that genuinely reflect how the day felt — joyful, candid and full of life. Why choose me? I focus entirely on wedding photography and I know the flow of a wedding day from experience. That allows me to anticipate key moments and be in the right place without getting in the way. I aim to make the whole experience relaxed and enjoyable — Don’t worry, I’ve got your back! My goal is to preserve the real memories so you can relive them for years to come. I’m proud to be based in Coventry and to cover weddings across the West Midlands and the rest of the UK. If you’re nervous about being in front of a camera, I offer an engagement shoot as a gentle way to get comfortable and to familiarise you with how I work. It’s a relaxed session designed to build trust and make your wedding-day portraits feel effortless. If you’re after honest, authentic wedding photography from a photographer who values storytelling over forced posing, I’d love to hear about your plans. I’ll aim to document your day in a way that lets you enjoy the celebration — while making sure the moments that matter are beautifully captured.
