my husband and I will be sending our papers by next week. We indeed include pictures from the wedding and other pictures we had when he was with me here in Philippines.

I instructed him to paste those pictures to a blank sheet and write some captions describing the pictures. this will help the reviewer to have an idea how we shared good times here. And just a tip, when your spouse sends you the G325A, also fill out the DS230 but dont date it, ask your spouse to just sign the first part of the DS230 but not the part 2. this will save you a lot of time, let your spouse sends you everything that s/he is required to sign but don't date.

Regarding proof of marriage include anything that can help build up your case. My husband and I will include the contract of lease for the apartment we stayed here, joint bank account records, might as well include your boarding passes.. stuffs like this.

Hope this helps you.

e-mails, phone records, chat logs, bording passes, hotel bills, flight itineraries.

You can alwasy photocopy the pictures and send them so you don't send the originals. THat's what we did and then put in the cover letter that all documentation can be presented in its original state if needed.

so it will be better if i place some emails and pictures too....more opinions will be kindly appreciated!

In my opinion, you want to make this as easy as possible for the officer to approve your petition. The more evidence you have, the easier it is for the official to approve you.
