Hello Stan

You may fasten a bit your script if you drop the use of an index in the loop.

set newKeywords to {"Wedding"} -- list may contain multiple keywords
tell application id "com.apple.Photos"
set selectedPhotos to selection
repeat with aPhoto in selectedPhotos
tell aPhoto
try
set keywords to keywords & newKeywords
on error number -1700 -- photo has no keywords
set keywords to newKeywords
end try
end tell
end repeat
end tell

Behave flawlessly.

This alternate version works well too.

set newKeywords to {"Wedding"} -- list may contain multiple keywords
tell application id "com.apple.Photos"
set selectedPhotos to selection
repeat with aPhoto in selectedPhotos
tell aPhoto
if its keywords is missing value then
set keywords to newKeywords
else
set keywords to keywords & newKeywords
end if
end tell
end repeat
end tell

I'm not sure of which one is the faster.
