Is there 
a way to restore pictures 
and videos to a cell phone 
after accidentally restoring
 the iPhone to factory settings,
 without iCloud storage?

No.

Regarding your data, If…

Please check if you have backup on PC/Mac
Messages are not backed up, If you had turned on Messages in iCloud. Your content is automatically stored in iCloud and is available on all devices that use the same Apple ID
Please check if you have them on iCloud Photos by logging into https://www.icloud.com using your Apple ID credentials.
If you had imported your Photos & Videos to Mac/PC then they are safely residing there
If you had uploaded some of the photos to Cloud Drives using the Files app (iCloud Drive, Google Drive, OneDrive, DropBox, Flickr, box, AmazonDrive, Adobe Creative Cloud etc) then they are safe there,
