About the pictures: they told us one should be in full lenght and not too far from camera (that you're not like tiny person on photo
), one should be upper part of body. Both you IN FOCUS. Only one or two others can be on, but it must be clearly seen which one is you. No sunglassess, no hats. Smiling. And properly dressed (more is better). No drinking or ...! To my FI I took around 10 pics and they choose 3. But 2 are enough. Just take in consider all I just wrote about
