How to recover deleted photos on my mac?? HELP!!!

Hi everyone, I need to know if it’s possible to recover my deleted photos in my situation… I shot my friend’s wedding with my camera, and when I got home, I transferred all the photos to my MacBook Air M2 2022. Once all the files were saved on my desktop, I deleted them from my SD card. Everything seemed fine, but not for long 😓 because then I decided to transfer these photos to an external hard drive so I could give it to my friend for her to copy them. I thought I had successfully transferred the photos, so I deleted them from my Mac. Later, I gave the drive to my friend, and she said the photos aren’t on it, not in any of the folders. Please help, how can I recover deleted photos on Mac? MacBook 13’ 2022 M1 chip External HDD Apacer 1TB AC632
