Restore Deleted Photos from Catalog

Question

While I was editing, suddenly all the photos dissapeared. It could have been that I pressed delete+enter without realising because I was talking to someone, but I'm not sure. There is any way in which I could recover the photos? Worth to mention that I didn't delete them from the computer. Just from the catalog. Also, I don't have a back-up due to the catalog just being created recently. It was almost a full-wedding 😞

Due to not-knowing what's happening I reopend Lightroom, so Command+Z doesn't work..

Thank you

Photos don't just disappear from the catalog. A confirmation dialog box will always appear. If somehow you were so distracted that you accidentally selected all photos, then accidentally hit delete, then accidentally hit Enter, well that seems incredibly unlikely.

If you click on All Photographs in the Library Module, can you find the photos?

Not having a backup is a serious problem.
