how did you set up your phone? Did you not transfer your data at the time of setup?

If all your contacts and photos were in iCloud, then you may simply be able to go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud and turn on the switches for Contacts and Photos.

If they are not in iCloud, then you should start over again with setting up the new phone, using one of the methods in the link above
