Photographs - proof of relationship

Hello All,

I just wanted to canvass opinion/experience here. When providing photos for proof of relationship, is it okay to supply photos printed off my laptop? I'm applying for my first Settlement visa (wife). I will be using a color printer, and they'll be 8.5 x 11 paper. The Home Office doesn't actually require old-school Kodak-type photographs, do they?

Also, how many here do people typically supply? Say, half-a-dozen going back the past few years? We just got married in April, so I will be supplying a couple pics from that day . . .
Thanks in advance for any guidance.

Hi. That's what we did when we applied for the fiance visa. We printed about 4 I think. Good luck

Ideally it would be good to supply actual photos (i.e. printed on photo paper), but if you can't do that then I think normal printed ones are okay.

The photos are only to show you have met in person, so no more than 1 or 2 photos should be included in total.

I would recommend sending one from your wedding day and one from earlier in the relationship. Only you and your spouse should be in the photo, no need to include family/friends too.

Just wondering -- how many photos would you need to supply to document a 40-year marriage?

I would still just do one or two.  But the paper trail showing that you have been together for 40 years would be pretty big!

Thanks for the replies, everyone! I will probably have to print them out on the computer. I could get actual photographs, but in this day and age, that'll take more time and expense. My new husband and I have plenty of photographic evidence of our 4-year relationship, but pretty much every single photo we have of each other was taken on iphones. 

Ours were taken on phones too!

Our problem is that we have hardly any photos since our wedding where we're together in the shot because one or other of us is always behind the camera.   So we're submitting a rather badly framed shot taken at Disney by our then 7yo daughter  (plus others of course)

I had a few phone photos and sent them to walgreens online with my phone and got print outs. (Not for this but something else) They're pretty inexpensive.

I did the same as PandaPops.  For us we are unmarried (EEA permit) so I included six photos over our (then) 9 years together, ensuring I had one of him with my family, me with his, an early shot on our first trip together, another of us with his friends in his country, and us at his US citizenship ceremony. Oh, and one the day we got our new kitties (trying for cute + commitment to animals angle ) Essentially I tried to hit what look like key relationship "milestones" indicating commitment.
