There was a mistake that the photographer is using to say there is no valid contract. It is inconsistent for the photographer to say that there is a contract, so the deposit should be returned. Otherwise, I would require the first contract to be completed, unless both sides agree thee was a mistake as to that contract, in which case there was no "meeting of the minds" and there is no contract.
