I wasn't sure if we were supposed to either but I labelled all my pictures just in case. You would think they would need to know who exactly is in the pictures for the proof aspect of them. So I did. I labelled who was in all the pics, where we were, and dated them as well.

I placed all pictures on a blank white page (2 per page) arranged chronologically. I labelled who was in the picture, the date, the location, occasion if possible. For my Hindu wedding, I labelled the rituals in the picture, the people present and the date and the place.

Better to get these arranged chronologically if you are showing how your relationship developed. It's easier for you as well.

I also labeled them. I bought 2x4" address labels and did it like this:

Date
Place

What's going on in the photo

Who's in the photo from left to right

Printing out the labels and sticking them on the back of the photos was a lot easier than handwriting the information.

I would expect they would want to know who the people are that you are supplying them with photos of other than yourselves. I have spoke to many a person that have had interviews report being asked by a VO to name the people in the photos, who they are related to or how you know them.

is it okay to send pictures of only one of us.

For example my partner(person being sponsored) hugging and kissing my parents at the airport on one of their visits here??
And inversely pictures of me with his parents or brother.
I've read in many places that pictures should show both of us, however doesn't this(stated above) prove it's a loving and genuine relationship as well and that our families are involved?

I had photos showing us throughout our relationship. Each photo had a code and cross referenced to an index that detailed month year, who was in the photo, where it was taken, occasion. We did include some photos of us individually. For example, me at a restaurant then one of my partner at the same restaurant clearly across from me.

That's good! I had photos of my husband with my parents and my dogs to show that he was indeed family :)
