Restore data from formatted phone without root

Hey guys. I have an S8 Active that has been formatted, but I need to retrieve some very dear family pics from it. Since there is no root for the current bootloader version (V3), I cannot use the software solutions. So, is there anything I can do or somewhere I can go (a microsolderer maybe?) to restore the photos from the memory chip? Or am I SOL?

Thanks,

Vlad
