We are still compiling supporting documentation etc.
I have a question about photographs. How many photos should we submit with the application?
We don't have that many photos as we are not "selfie" people, focusing on enjoying being together instead, although we have travelled thousands of miles together.
We were married in Maui, Hawaii, in court, by a high court judge, and have the photos to prove it.
So we have photos of the wedding ceremony - myself, wife and judge - afterwards in hotel grounds, and about half a dozen high quality photos each in the USA and UK over the 2.5 years we have been together. Is this enough.
Also do we need to send glossy photos which will cost quite a lot to reproduce, or can we just print them on regular paper?
Also if they require more evidence, do they contact us and request it. or just reject the application?
we will be submitting documentation exactly as required in the document you kindly provided earlier:

If we provide our marriage certificate will it matter if some supporting documents, e.g passport is in my wife's previous name?
Any other advice on this most welcome.
