I always go with the official USCIS instructions first. What they want you to send and what they will consider first and foremost as solid evidence is in that list. We didn't send any marriage photos or anything of that sort since it wasn't listed in their instructions. The only photos they request at initial filing are 2 recent passport-style photos
