Welcome to Android Central! Is it just the screen that won't come one, or does the phone not power on at all? If it's only the screen that's broken, try this method: http://forums.androidcentral.com/ge...de-accessing-locked-phone-cracked-screen.html. If it doesn't power on at all, then you're probably out of luck. A forensic data recovery specialist could probably recover them for you, but that would cost hundreds if not thousands of dollars.

In the future, I'd strongly consider keeping Google Photos Auto Backup on at all times. Either that, or make sure you backup your photos to your computer or to some other cloud storage on a regular basis.

Do you have a sim card in it that your photos were saved to? You could take the SIM out, put it in a card reader, plug it into your computer and copy them over to you your computer.

That's a good idea, but you mean the SD card, not the SIM. ;)
