Yes Slice, once the photon reaches the event horizon. But before it reaches the point of no return the differential tidal forces at different distances from the black hole would stretch the photon if it had dimensions. ie stronger grav force 1 meter from the EH as opposed to 1.0000000000001 meters causing the photon to elongate.

I should point out that I am arguing strictly from a laymans point of view using my perception and admittedly limited understanding of quantum mechanics.
