When my fiance got his visa in the mail from Paris embassy he also got the brown "do not open envelope" and... the photos I submitted with the I-129F. Do all embassies do that? I hadn't heard of that before, neither of us expected to get them back. :)

Not that I have personal experience, but from reading others stories and talking to others who have been there... yes this is normal as far as the brown "do not ever open" envelope that he will carry with him at his POE.

We did not get the photos back. The next time I saw the photos was at the AOS interview in Jacksonville. I think your photos probably should have been on the inside of the " do not open " package. I wouldn't worry about it though. You might want to take some pics to the AOS interview just in case I am correct.

Our photo's were returned to us on the day of the interview.

I guess it depends on what embassy you go through.

They gave back all of our proof of relationship with all the photo's submited.
