Congratulations. Photos and other original documents that are submitted at the interview are usually returned at the interview. The photos were probably provided as "proof of ongoing relationship" with the petition and not needed.

VERMONT! I Reject Your Reality...and Substitute My Own!

Not like it makes a difference at this point, but why in the world would you assume that the pictures were anything other than the standard proof of having met within two years?

because the USCIS says that anything submitted with the petition becomes part of the file and is not returned... most consulates makes no such similar claim... but to be certain...

To the OP: Which pictures were returned and when were they given... original submission or consulate interview?

YMMV
