If I use Time Machine do I need to back up my files?

When I had a Windows laptop, I would back up important files of mine such as photos or written documents on an external storage drive. Now that I use Mac, I started using that external storage drive for Time Machine. My question is if Time Machine backs up only system files, or personal files like photos. Basically I want to know if I hypothetically lose my MacBook and I have a Time Machine backup, would I be able to recover my photos and other personal files as well? Thanks.
