Welcome to Android Central! Unfortunately, those photos are lost. There are probably forensic data recovery specialists who could recover some of that data, but it would probably cost hundreds if not thousands of dollars.

You can now backup an unlimited number of your photos to Google+ Photos using the Auto Backup feature (as long as you limit the photo size to the equivalent of 16 megapixels or less), so in the future, turn that feature on, and you'll prevent mishaps like this. Sorry!
