Should wedding pictures be added in removal of conditions package?

We did not.   Some here will advocate sending the kitchen sink for ROC.   Ours was minimalist.  We showed pics at our AOS interview, because the officer asked for them.

You can but don't have to. I chose not to, and only added a few which included family members and/or friends. I only sent a few though

Perhaps. See 

Photos resulted in a skeptical ISO becoming a believer and thus got the couple approval.

Confused, @Mike E?   Again, I’m relating my personal experience (as is everyone responding to OP’s question).

I think the only time we used photos in the process was during my wife's K-1 interview. Didn't include any for AoS, ROC, or citizenship applications.

 

Edit to add: the only other interview was for citizenship. Had there been an AOS interview or one for the ROC, we might have brought photos.

Usually you do not submit the same evidence that you did when you adjusted status. Submit all evidence from the date you became a resident onwards.

The whole idea behid evidence that most people don't seem to be understanding is NOT to prove the bona fide aspect of your marriage but make it harder for sham marriages to get green cards. There is no real way for an officer who has 10 other things including (just like the rest of us) on their mind to sit through and learn about each unique case short of putting people in a lie detector machine. Thus in order to prevent fraud cases they raise the bar for everyone else with the evidence because it takes a while and a lot of trust for a fraud case to build evidence together. This throws away most easy fraud cases and the rest remaining are usually friends trying to help each other and such (not talking about crime rings arranging marriages and what not). 

Going back to your original question such evidence helps given that you actually had a legitimate marriage ceremony and for a non bonafide case it would take much of effort to do that.

I don't know if my point helped, but it does put into perspective why there is a need for evidence.
