Enforcement officer here.

Photos are not a legal requirement, all that is needed is time, date, location, make of vehicle and contravention code.

Most of us have body cams, and they are usually switched on during the issuing stage (especially with on street pcns)

Contrary to popular belief, we do not have to give warning, speak to you, stick it to the windscreen or put it in your hand. If a pcn has been started and the driver drives off, we just head to the office, write a report up and the issuing authority sends a regulation 10 pcn, which is a postal pcn and deemed served by post.

The info in in the report/statment will have the following...
CEO number, date, time (including observation times), location, details of contravention (ie contravention 01, parked on a single yellow line during restricted hours as detailed on the time plate), details of car (eg, Black Ford Escort, VRM AB12 CDE), possibly a desription of the driver, and a details of any conversation.

You don't mention anything about pictures

Is that because you forgot or pictures aren't needed?

Apart from the bit which says "Photos are not a legal requirement" you're right.

Just pay the ticket - and stop parking on pavements.
