Where were your 3000 photos before you got the iPhone 6?

Did you back them up to iTunes?  Where they part of your Camera Roll or just part of your Photostream?

Where did you back them up to and did you reload that backup? Did you transfer them from your old phone to your computer? Like Templeton said, without further information, we do not know where they are.

SO I could not even delete these photos they were always there.  WHERE DID THEY GO?????   Seriously,  am I missing something here.  Are they somewhere on the cloud and I am just not smart enough to figure out??

I just want you to be smart enough to answer the questions that bobwild, kb1951 and myself have asked you.

Where were these 3000 photos prior to you getting your iPhone 6?  In the Camera Roll of your previous iOS device?  In the Photostream on the device?  Where did you last see these photos, exactly?

Have you been importing your photos to your computer?  Have you been making iCloud or iTunes backups?

You have to provide details if you want help. if you got a new iPhone its not going to come into your new iPhone without you doing anything. do you still have them on your old iPhone? did you back them up?

I had all of my photos on my iPhone 5S, but not all of them transferred to my iPhone 6 + that I got last week. How can I get them from my iPhoto library to my new iPhone?

did you stay in ATT until the restore is complete?

iCloud restore can take hours to complete and if you leave the wifi connections that interrupts the restore process. and in that case you have to start over.
