Let me start out by saying this: if you are looking for a photographer, stop your search and book Greg Zook! When my wife and I started our search for our photographer, we knew that it would be one of the most important decisions of our wedding. After all, when the wedding is over, all you have left are memories and pictures! We started out by looking at our venue's recommended photographers (which, not surprisingly Greg was a part of) and fell in love with how Greg's pictures looked. When my wife called to say we were interested in booking him for our wedding, he was ecstatic and couldn't wait to meet us. We met him at the Lake Arrowhead Resort and Spa (our venue) and we knew right away he was the perfect match. His personality was awesome and his passion for photography truly shined as he was showing us his work. We couldn't wait to start working with him! Well, we ended up booking an engagement session with him as well, which we shot at Big Bear Lake and he was AWESOME! From the very beginning he made my wife and I feel extremely comfortable in front of the camera. He is so funny and personable that we almost forgot he was there and it let us be natural, which really showed in the pictures. His wife, Stacy, was there helping and she was super nice, too. We ended up going to a pretty cool spot where Greg got some really unique shots. After the shoot was done, we couldn't wait to see how the pictures turned out. We were thinking it would take at least two or three weeks to get the pictures! Well, we did our engagement shoot on a Saturday and that following Monday, he had ALL of the pictures touched up and enhanced for us to view! How awesome is that?! When it came to the wedding, so many people told us that he was the best photographer they had ever seen, just from the way he worked with everyone to get them in our "formal" shots. He made everyone feel comfortable and we got some great pictures from him. The personal shots he did with my wife and I were incredible, too. He gave us a sneak peek of our pictures the day after the wedding and we were so excited to see the rest of them. The day after we got back from our two week honeymoon, he had them ready and he definitely didn't let us down. By far the best wedding pictures I have seen. Thank you so much Greg! We had a blast with you as our photographer and will definitely be booking shoots with you in the future! Connor and Danielle Lake Arrowhead Wedding 6/22/14 read more

What can we say.....Greg and Stacy are amazingly awesome! The moment we met Greg we liked him on the spot and we got along fantastically. On our wedding day last month, Greg came to shoot our wedding along with his great partner Stacy. I thought before and definitely agreed then and now that we couldn't have picked a better team to capture our big day! They stayed in contact with us the whole six months before our day just to check in with us and see how we were and if we had any questions. My husband and I are not wealthy people and we thought that the prices were great and fair. Stacy and Greg are such great people!!! They have great personalities and are full of laughter, creativity and adventure! Such that for my wedding I wanted pictures in the snow and we went hiking up in the woods to get my snow pictures! They are up for anything and will do their best to capture all the moments you want and many more lovely candids you didn't expect that you so love when you finally see them! Also what we love about Greg and Stacy is that for our wedding, no one was excluded! They captured pictures of everyone and spoke and laughed with everyone. They made such great impressions on everyone that all of my guests wish they were getting married again so that they could have them shoot their big day. Ben and I did not have a videographer but we did not need one thanks to Greg and Stacy. They took such beautiful pictures that make you relive your moments as soon as you see them! I will and would definitely refer and recommend them to anyone and everyone! And one of the great things about them too is that they are open to different types of shoots, not just weddings. I look forward to seeing them again and when the time comes hopefully having some maternity or family shoots with them! So if anyone is looking for great photography go with ZOOK PHOTOGRAPHY! Greg and Stacy will not let you down and will make all of your experiences with them memorable!!!! We love you Greg and Stacy! read more

When we first met Greg there was an instant connection. We had consultations with a few other photographers before him, but once we met Greg we knew he was going to be our photographer. If I remember correctly our 1st meeting lasted almost 2 hours because we had so much fun getting to know him. Who knew we weren't just hiring a photographer for our wedding but meeting a lifelong friend in the process. Greg is a true artist. His background as an illustrator and commercial photographer gives him an edge that other wedding photographers lack. He takes your vision and creates a beautiful, perfect story. We now have gorgeous pictures that recap the best day of our lives, and we couldn't be happier!!! Some friends have even said they look like they could be from a magazine. We had a tight budget like so many engaged couples out there, but my one recommendation is, don't be afraid to spend the money on the photography part of your budget. Hiring Greg will be worth every penny you spend. The value of the memories he captures are priceless. Not to mention he is absolutely hilarious and will keep you laughing from start to finish!!! Thank you Greg for your Sons of Anarchy photo shoot that drew us to your website, thank you for your creativity, thank you for listening to my vision and suggestions and making them 100% better, thank you for indulging us in our bowling themed engagement shoot followed by sunset picture by the lake, thank you for making me feel so gorgeous on my wedding day, and thank you for opening up your home to us when you revealed the pictures to us. The personal touches you add to Zook Photography make the wedding planning experience so wonderful and stress free. Thank you again Greg for all you do!!! With love, The new Mr. and Mrs. Packett read more

We could not be happier with our photos & video. I honestly don't even know where to start. Our wedding pictures were more important to me than my wedding dress, because this is what we get to keep forever and look back on years from now. I knew how great I wanted my pictures to be, but when it came to picking out a photographer, I felt so incredibly lost. With so many people to choose from, how do you know your picking the right one? My husband saw Greg & Stacy's work & we were sold right then and there. We seriously could not have picked a better duo! Greg & Stacy were absolutely amazing throughout the entire process! I was so nervous to have our pictures taken & I was worried my insecurities would show in our photos. Greg & Stacy eliminated all of my worries. My husband and I met them for our engagement shoot in October of 2018 & we were so comfortable with them right off the bat. They were so helpful, responded quickly every time I reached out & always made sure we were feeling good about each step in the process. On our wedding day, they once again showed up with reassuring smiles, awesome energy & got to work for us. Our families are big on joking with each other & to have our photographers fit right into that, just made the day even more special. They literally got along with everyone. There was not one person that didn't have something great to say about Greg & Stacy. I wish I could leave more than 5 stars. They will forever hold a special place in our hearts & I cannot wait to use them for future shoots. If you're looking for a photographer, do yourself a favor and hire Zook Studios! read more

From the very beginning Greg and Stacy of Zook Photography made it a point to create a relationship with my wife and I for our wedding. We immediately hit it off because of their enthusiasm and kindness. They made us feel so confident in selecting them to capture our special day. In days leading up to the wedding we were able to meet with them. This gave us a time to see their work and select the package we wanted. We also went over the game plan for the day of the wedding. Everything was set up before the fact which took a lot of stress off of us on the day. On the day of the wedding they arrived early and got right to work. They gave the main focus to my wife, which pleased me because all the attention should be on her. Their ideas for shots are INCREDIBLE! They think outside the box and capture award winning shots. Both Greg and Stacy had their own camera so we were able to capture many great moments from different angles. YOU WILL NOT REGRET WORKING WITH YHIS AMAZING COUPLE!!!! After the fact, about 3-4 weeks after the wedding they treated us to dinner and revealed to us the finished product. The finished work took our breath away! These are memories that we will have for our entire lives and pass down to our children. Besides marrying my best friend, working with Greg and Stacy was by far the best part of our entire wedding experience! read more

Planning a wedding can be very stressful especially when you live over 2,000 miles away from the venue. One of the most important choices, in my opinion, is the selection of the photographer. I spoke with many photographers who service the Lake Arrowhead area. As soon as I spoke to Greg Zook of Zook Photography, I knew without a doubt that he would be perfect for my daughter and future son in law's wedding day. Greg is a true professional with a personable touch. It is obvious that he loves his job and takes great pride in his final product. We spoke at length on the phone about Jen & John to provide Greg with an idea of their likes and dislikes. The entire wedding party raved about how he made the day about the bride and groom. We all felt like Greg was a long time friend and not someone we had just met the day before. An added benefit is that Stacy, Greg's wife is a makeup artist. She came to the house to provide her services. Jen said it was great having Stacy throughout the day to "touch up" her makeup during the day. Everything was processed and received as promised. The pictures and slide show are amazing! If you are looking for a photographer you can trust with your special day and one who provides outstanding pictures then Greg Zook should be your choice. I would not hesitate to use Greg and Stacy again. read more

My wife and I recently got married up at Lake Arrowhead and we used Greg as our photographer. He is listed on the Lake Arrowhead Resort preferred vendor list for photographers, and frankly, they should only list him. Greg is that good. His energy and enthusiasm is contagious and he is a blast to work with. Even though we signed up with him about a year in advance, he would contact us occasionally making us feel even better about our choice. As we got closer he was very proactive about setting up stuff in advance in terms of what kind of shots we wanted and the days schedule/timeline. His style is awesome and produced amazing candid shots as well as incredibly elegant shots of us as well. He even made us photos where our wedding party got attacked by sharks and a t-rex! After the wedding he was awesome at keeping us in the loop as to how the pictures where coming along including a preview a couple days after the wedding. We got all our images within two weeks which was great after hearing so many horror stories about friends that waiting FOREVER to get there photos back. I would use Greg again in a heart beat and he would be the only person I would recommend for a photographer, even if you weren't in the Lake Arrowhead area. Thanks again for everything Greg! read more

From our first meeting we had a really good feeling about Greg and Stacy. They were very friendly and brought great examples of their work to put our minds completely at ease. We just saw our pictures and could not be happier. Greg captured our personality perfectly and the candid shots of the bridal party and guests really captured the excitement and joy of the day. The entire day was stress free (even organizing large family shots with 7 kids) and they got all the photos we wanted plus so much more. Their great communication, creativity, and flexibility made everything fun and effortless. Our videographer had to cancel at the last minute and Greg even offered to shoot some video footage in addition to the photos and it turned out great! Stacy also did make-up for the bride and two bridesmaids and it was perfect. She's so nice and the make-up was very natural (which is what we wanted) but looked great in the photos. The whole process felt more like working with good, talented friends who really cared about us rather than a business relationship. We couldn't be happier with the entire experience. We will definitely use them for any future photography needs. read more

AMAZING! PERFECT PHOTOS! Thank you Greg Zook!! After all of the horror stories that my wife and I heard about photographers we decided to get the best! Greg Zook stood out from the crowd and after our first meet with Greg we just knew he was the best choice we could make. Two minutes with the books he brought were enough to prove the value of his work. My wife was so excited when we booked Zook! Greg was always wiling to hear the few ideas My wife and I had and he made them even better. We met several times and by the end we just felt so relived because Greg was a stress free vendor who worked with all of our ideas and his expertise and advice was a HUGE help. The pictures came out perfect! Greg got breathtaking moments that I can't explain and our guests even had fun taking photos. After the wedding Greg showed us the slideshow that he finished quick which he made to music and just made us feel like it was a red carpet event and the show was awesome! Greg was so humble and such a great guy to be around There is no other choice for a photographer in the Southern California area! Save yourself the horror and book Zook!! read more

We hired a wonderful wedding coordinator at a new venue that had not been used for weddings yet, and Greg "came with the package". What we ended up with was an amazing experience with amazing people. We upgraded our photography package thinking we would be happy with the results. To our surprise, what we received was nothing short of pure wedding bliss. Greg and Stacy took the most beautiful pictures and captured some of the most memorable pictures and videos anyone could ever ask for. If you have the opportunity to have Greg and Stacy be your photographers I guarantee that the end product will be more than you could ever ask for. Thank you so much Greg and Stacy for your hard work, patience, and fantastic work ethic to get our wedding photos so perfect! We have made friends for life in Greg and Stacy, and will be using them for any photography needs in the future. read more

You will not be disappointed! Greg and Stacy Zook have done numerous family photo sessions for us over the past eight years and we wouldn't want any other photographer. Of course Greg is good technically; he knows how to pick a location, how to set lighting, how to capture an image, and is an expert in the use of his advanced photographic equipment. But that is not what makes him such a spectacular photographer. What separates Greg from the rest is that he creates an atmosphere of fun and excitement! He puts everyone at ease and gets us all laughing, making an electric experience and thus creates the opportunity for fantastic results. That's the magic you will experience when you hire him for your photo session or event. The only thing better than the photo session are the photographic results. I strongly encourage you to hire Zook Photography. read more

Greg and Stacy are some of the most genuine people out there! Not only are they professional, they are a one of a kind dynamic duo husband and wife team. Between Stacy's flawless make up and artistic skills and Greg's eye with the camera..the two of them supporting you as a team will make your special day one to remember. Greg has a special ability to make photos and videos truly come to life. He will capture the presence and your warmth at any occasion. They are my favorite people to do any photographs with and I would HIGHLY recommend using them. Everything they use is the highest quality and they make you feel very comfortable.

If I could give Greg and Stacy more then 5 stars I would. These are two of the most amazing people I have ever met. They have an energy and an eye for photography like I have never seen before! They make you feel so comfortable and make everything about your special day. They went above and beyond everything my husband and I ever expected. The previews we have seen of the photos are jaw dropping. The lighting is perfect and the positioning is just amazing! We could not have asked for better photographers and I highly recommend Greg and Stacy! Stacy also does make up and does an outstanding job! Everything looks so natural and just enough pop so the camera picks up the make up. Very fast and easy to remove as well!! read more

Greg and Stacy did my wedding up in Big Bear last weekend. The two of them are such a great team and worked so well with the bridal party, guests, and videographers. They kept us laughing and smiling during all the pre wedding pictures, traveled all over Big Bear to get great shots, and did not leave until they knew my husband and I were happy. To top it off we got a first look of some of the photos the next day! I have gotten sooo many compliments on the few pictures I posted on FB. They truly are incredible. Greg turned a little rain into an amazing photo shoot! I would recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding photographer, they were worth every penny. I can't wait to see the rest of the photos!!! read more

It's hard to find the words to describe how amazing Greg and Stacy are! They are such great people and wonderful artists. They work so well together and have such good eyes for composing a special photograph. My husband and I clicked with Greg from the moment we first met him. We felt comfortable around him and that reflects in our wedding photos. Our wedding guests keep saying what a great photographers and people they are. Everyone was relaxed and had so much fun with them. The photos turned out better than we could have imagined. Working with Greg and Stacy was so easy and fun, I would book with them again in a heartbeat! The end result is a dream come true and we have spectacular photos! read more

There wasn't a 6 star option, so we will settle for 5. What an amazing experience. My husband and I got married last November at the Lake Arrowhead Resort. We wanted more photojournalism than traditional posted photos, and we wanted images that would echo the "fall meets Disney" magic we had planned. He was prompt, professional, creative, and open to our ideas. The photos were phenomenal. Our guests and wedding party loved working with him. In addition to photos, he also provided a fusion of images and video, which was a delightful yet edgy blend. Overall, it was a terrific value for what we got, and I will certainly use him again for family photo shoots. This is the photographer you want. read more

Greg and Stacy are amazing-- their personalities and their photography! My husband and I loved working with both of them. They really try to get to know you and the look/feel you're wanting for your photographs. Pictures are important for so many reasons, and I'm so thankful we found the two of them to capture our wedding day. Neither, my husband nor I, love being in front of the camera, but Greg and Stacy made us feel comfortable, which was apparent in our pictures. Trust me, you won't regret your decision to have Greg photograph any special occasion! We look forward to working with Greg in the future, as we will definitely use his services for other milestones in our lives. read more

We were married August 2013 and had the very good fortune to have Greg as our photographer. Greg perfectly captured all we imagined for our wedding photos. He and his wife were wonderful to be with. Their wonderful energy, style and expertise shone through our wedding photos. The were a joy to be with. I was so thankful to have Stacy do my make-up. What an artist she is. We had great fun in the make-up process. She followed me around the whole evening touching up my lipstick, made me feel like a star! Greg captured the fun, love and excitement of our wedding. We'll enjoy his work for years to come! We highly recommend Greg and Stacy to capture any special day you may have! read more
