First, you need to tell your route to parse after the /:

Router::connect('/*', array('controller' => 'photos', 'action' => 'index'));

Then, connect the named parameters:

Router::connectNamed(false, array('defaults' => true));

You can also set them within your route, if you prefer. More information on connecting named parameters here: http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/development/routing.html#controlling-named-parameters
