I-130 can be filed online.

Not sure about I-130A

The I130A will need to be filled out and uploaded with the online application for the I130.  It is probably best to fill out the I130A first before starting the I130 application.

 

Good Luck!

Online filing is a combination of an online form and uploading supporting documents.  One supporting document is the I-130a.  Start by becoming an A-Student of the I-130 instructions you can download and the paper form, can be a helpful guide in preparing.  I still recommend filing on paper though unless you are living abroad.  Less form glitches.

NJS, you will want to upload more than 1 picture of you and your spouse. You should provide evidence that your marriage is not a sham. I uploaded multiple pictures of my wife and me from the several times we met. I also uploaded copies of the visas in our passports that showed that we were together multiple times.

 

I also wrote out a narrative of our when we met, how we met and a chronological list of when and where we met in person.

This will become clear when you study those instructions.  Supporting documents will include evidence your relationship is bona fide.  Photos together (plural) are usually part of that evidence but not the most important part.

Are travel receipts and photos alone sufficient? Any other evidence that needs to be summitted?

Passport stamps for example.

Receipts for airline tickets are evidence you bought a ticket, not evidence of actual travel.  Passport stamps and boarding passes are evidence of travel.  Receipts for hotels in spouse's country are evidence of travel.
