Can I return the photos if I can't get them after paying the money?

Legal analysis: If the photography studio does violate the contract, such as the promise is not fulfilled, then according to the other party's breach of contract, the studio can be required to refund money, remake and pay liquidated damages according to the contract. So whether you can refund the money depends on whether the studio has breached the contract or not.

Legal basis: Article 585 of the Civil Code of People's Republic of China (PRC), the parties may agree that one party shall pay a certain amount of liquidated damages to the other party according to the breach of contract, or agree on the calculation method of the amount of damages for breach of contract. If the agreed liquidated damages are lower than the losses caused, the people's court or arbitration institution may increase the liquidated damages at the request of the parties; If the agreed liquidated damages are excessively higher than the losses caused, the people's court or arbitration institution may appropriately reduce them at the request of the parties. If the parties concerned pay liquidated damages for delayed performance, the breaching party shall also perform the debt after paying the liquidated damages.
