Move photos from one Nexus 6 to another

[AC Question]

I purchased a new Nexus 6 to replace my old one with a cracked screen. I now want to move the photos from the old phone to the new one. I have synced with google photos and can view the photos however, the actual photo files are not on the new device. How do i either download or transfer the files to the new device preserving date and time information and the files structure from the old device?
