I am a US citizen and recently married a British citizen, who is currently in the US, and I’m filing an I-130, do I have to include the evidence of bona fide marriage when I first submit the form?
Evidence such as joint bank account, photos, records of trips taken etc. or do I want and bring these to the interview?

If your spouse intends to remain in the US and process within the US, you'd need to also have him/her file the application to adjust status I-485 along with the I-130. The evidence of the bona fide marriage does not get submitted at the time of filing. You need to start gathering all that documentation andyou will need to present it at the time of the interview with USCIS.
