If you deleted these photos recently, you could check the Recently Deleted album to see if they are still there. If they are, you could recover them from there.
However, if you let the photos remain in the Recently Deleted album for 30+ days, or if you went into that album and deleted them from there, they would have become permanently deleted. In that case, you couldn't get the photos back unless you had previously made copies "outside the system".

Do you use Time Machine?
If you do does it have backups from 2025?
If it does you can restore your library (KEEP BOTH) and get your photos and videos from that library.
If you don't use Time Machine do you have any backups from 2025 with another app?
If not then they are permanently gone.

Could you have multiple libraries?
