You need minimal pictures.

I took about a dozen.  Just one or two from different points in time in the relationship.  Some alone, a few with friends/family.  Ideally with each other's parents or siblings.  More than 20 won't be looked at most likely.

Just bring a few pertinent and latest pictures of the two of you. They usually don't ask for pictures anymore during the interview. Just 10 pictures would be fine in my opinion. Don't waste too much money.

 

more important documents to bring would be financial papers like recent paychecks, bank deposits, w2, tax transcripts, etc.

Concentrate on quality evidence, not quantity.  A few pictures is all you need.

Quality and not quantity is what you need. I would put very few pictures, but represents many occasions..like two or three for the wedding with family and friends, some for you both at different occasions at different places...that would do.

As some said, sometimes you wont be even asked for any...it depends on the consulate and the officer and the case itself.
