Looks good.  I'll report this post so that the moderators can delete the personal information.

Thanks! I was not paying attention to that.

More than enough, I would say. You are currently living together in Hungary? That's the best evidence of all. Skip all the wedding stuff (invites, etc). Focus on the stuff from the landlord and the local authority confirming you live together. Do you have utility bills together? Photos are secondary evidence. Not really useful in your case as your other evidence trumps photos but you can throw a few in. 

 

Remember that the list of examples provided by USCIS on the I-130 instructions is very broad in order to cover all circumstances. The I-130 is used by a couple who've been living together for 30 years and a couple who married last week and have only met once. So not all examples apply to everyone.
