I just replaced my apple phone and now I cannot retrieve my photos from the old phone

My phone was damaged beyond repair. I had insurance and got a new phone through Asurion. During the claim process it told me I needed to remove my phone from my plan or erase it. I removed it. When I did that I lost all access to the photos saved on my phone. I thought it was on the cloud but cannot find them. My damaged phone turns on and reacts to pressing the home key but the screen is so smashed I cannot unlock my phone. If I bring it to an apple store can they retrieve the photos saved on the phone.
