My phone got wet and wont turn on. Is there anyway to get it repaired and get the pictures off of it?
What options do I have to save my phone?

Well, since you tried to turn it on while wet the chances of recovering anything have just been reduced. But try putting it in a plastic bag with uncooked rice for several days to draw the moisture out of it. You may then be able to restore it or turn it on. If you've been syncing regularly, backing up to your computer or iCloud, or have enabled Photo Stream your pictures are safe. If you have done none of these things they are lost unless the phone recovers after drying out.

Possibly, but try drying it out before giving up.
