You didn't have to lose those photos. You can "update" to a particular IPSW in iTunes [1].

So just download a "production" iOS 7 IPSW and "update" to it.

That's what I did to update when the iOS 7 GM came out, and I've used it in the past when I unintentionally let an iOS 6 beta expire.

Apple was also nice enough to allow the device to sync in the background while the requires authorization screen is up.
