No courthouse/wedding photos for marriage based AOS - will this be an issue?

I’m applying for a marriage-based green card (Adjustment of Status) and I’m a little worried about our lack of wedding/courthouse photos. My husband and I have been married since 2021, so we’ve been married for over five years. We have lived together throughout our marriage and have plenty of other evidence that our relationship and marriage are genuine. The issue is that we literally have no pictures from our courthouse wedding. We got married during COVID, and it was just the two of us. We didn’t have any guests or witnesses, and we didn’t have a traditional wedding or reception. Neither of us is really a big picture person, and we also don’t live close to our families, so we don’t have a huge collection of family photos either. We do have some pictures together from different times during our relationship, just not a lot compared to what I see other couples submitting. For people who have gone through the marriage-based USCIS process: Could the lack of wedding/courthouse photos be a problem? What other types of evidence would you recommend including to show that our marriage is genuine? I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who was in a similar situation, especially couples…
