"Photos must be loose. Do not send them in binders, albums, frames, or other such containers. Do not send video discs or video cassettes. Do not send musical greeting cards or other similar documents containing electronic or mechanical devices."

That statement was also on the Philippine document.

We just sent in our photos the old fashion way pictures loose. Separated in envelopes by year and event

This simply means they don't want photo albums, picture frames, etc. It is perfectly acceptable to put the photos into Word and print them out on regular paper, provided the pages are still "loose", i.e. not bound in any way.

Yes this is correct Canuck,

I Printed my pictures in Black and White. One picture per page. I had quite a few pictures about 40.
I included pictures of the wedding as well. Not each picture included myself or my wife in them.

I have heard of people printing them as sheets of pics and people sending individual photos. We printed individual photos, wrote relevant info on the back( location, names and dates and then seperated them by year. We have been together for 5 years. We then put an elastic around each year and put them in an envelope. We just sent our application so I can't give advice from experience but we seemed to think that way was direct and easy to look at.

I remember seeing it somewhere else too, but on form IMM 3910 of the country specific instructions for the USA etc it says:

"Photos must be loose. Do not send them in binders, albums, frames, or other such containers. Do not send video discs or video cassettes. Do not send musical greeting cards or other similar documents containing electronic or mechanical devices."

that just means to please not send photo albums, picture frames or videos. where exactly does it say pictures can't be printed on paper? it doesn't. both ways are acceptable, and an applicant can do whatever works best for them.

I just copied pasted photos onto a word document. I have about 5 pictures per page, and on the left side, I wrote the date, a description of the event and who was in the picture. We had over 20 pages, so I added a page numbers and in header/footer I put our names and initials and entitled it Evidencehotos.

I just posted what it says is all about having photo's loose etc so people could see the reference. It says nothing about not printing pics on paper, you're correct

The movie “Gone with the Wind” is 4 hours long, “The Notebook” on the other hand is 2 hours long, both are great movies.

If you already took the time to put together a ton of pictures, rather than wasting your effort, you might as well put them in your application package. There is no specific number of photos to which you are asked to tell your “love” story. Some story, due to their complexity just takes a bit longer to be told.

For my story, I have about 25-28 tiny passport size photos (35mm X 45mm) wrap with an elastic rubber band mail with my application. They were quality timeline specific marker photos. When we first meet, where we visited, wedding ceremony, family outing, etc… On our photos, we had our first selfies at the beach and the market; we did a selfie wedding photo with tons of wedding guess in the background, a picture at the marriage register office, a professional wedding photo and some pictures with family and friends. On the back of each photo, we wrote who they were.

As mention by other poster here, try to keep things simple and concise, more specifically the photo should have a timeline specific telling your story. At the same time, don’t relied everything on the photos to tell your entire story; it should only serve to compliment your application. You should have other document as well to tell your love story. A photo is worth a thousand words, not create a bunch of questions.
