Zook Photography

The Zook team are true artists! I thank my lucky stars that I found them for our wedding! They were super easy to get ahold of. Accommodating and flexible. True professionals with super high quality results. Im blown away by the emotion he captured in our shots. The bride & groom (my kids) looked like the cover of a magazine! 5+ stars!!!

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!

Greg and Stacy helped to make our day perfect! They had such a fun energy from our first meeting, to our wedding and even on our red carpet viewing. They helped to make our day extra perfect and had wonderful advice. We would highly recommend them and look forward to working with them in the future.

We knew we wanted to work with Greg and Stacey from the very first phone call. They were very personable and professional. We would recommend them to all of our family and friends and would work with them in the future if given the opportunity!

My husband Clint and I got married this September at Pine Rose Cabins in Lake Arrowhead and we had the utmost pleasure of having Greg and Stacy Zook shoot our wedding. Words can not express the happiness that they have given us with their work!!! Clint and I are more than ecstatic with our photos and videos they did. Their work is phenomenal, their personalities are incredible and they both have the heart and passion for photography!!! Our pictures are MORE THAN I could of ever imagined. They made our wedding the best day ever that we will forever cherish and show our family and friends from years to come!!!! Thank you Greg and Stacy - you're the best!!!! Can't wait for them to shoot our (future) baby/family pictures for the upcoming years!!!

Greg and Stacy are amazing; super friendly and very accommodating! They make you feel comfortable and even post all photos on their website. Your guests can easily purchase any photo directly from Zook Photography website. I highly recommend and will definitely be using them again!

Greg and Stacy from Zook Photography did the photography for our wedding on 9/23/17 at San Moritz lodge and the job they did was nothing short of phenomenal. From the multiple calls to chat before the day of our ceremony, getting us all the shots we wanted (and the ones we didn't know we wanted!) we couldn't be happier. If you are reading this and thinking of booking Zook Photography for wedding, I would absolutely recommend them without any equivocation. The perfect blend of professionalism and friendliness that you want on your special day!

We picked Zook Photography for our wedding in August of 2016 at Pine Rose Cabins in Lake Arrowhead and I'm so incredibly happy we did! We loved his website and when we met him we knew we made the right choice. His energy and attitude is amazing and his wife Stacey is incredible as well. They made me feel comfortable and confident and most importantly, like I was having fun! Our wedding book he made for us is absolutely beautiful. My husband and I were both impressed. We will defiantly use him for our photo needs in the future. I would defiantly recommend him!

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!!!

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.

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. We loved all of the pictures from our wedding day!! 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’ll definitely use his services for other milestones in our lives.

Greg and Stacey are the best! You guys made our day so extra special. The photos were amazing, your creativity and guidance through the process made us feel comfortable and at ease when shooting our engagement/wedding pictures. Thank you for your guidance and most of all we gained a friendship with you Stacy and Greg.

I have never worked with anyone as more professional than Greg and Stacy(ever)! From the first consultation we had I knew this guy was the real deal! It's always tough making the decision on who to use in any situation. Especially a wedding!!! Let me tell you from my experience it was the best decision we made for our wedding, hands down! I have very high standards when it comes to professionalism, Greg and Stacy with Zook photography exceeded all my expectations exponentially! I honestly can't say enough about these two, not only are they professional, easy to work with, have the best equipment money can buy, gave us an incredible deal, Greg and Stacy are artists that deliver some of the best photography and video we have ever seen! We are so lucky to have found them. My wife is extremely gorgeous but I lost it when I saw how beautiful they made my bride look! They were able to capture her best angles and show off her dress so well she looks like a model out of a magazine! It's incredible! My wife is so impressed we are going to do a 1 year anniversary session with Zook. I 100% recommend Zook photography without hesitation! Just look for yourself and go on their website and see the quality!!! They are first class!!!

We picked Zook Photography for our wedding @ Pine Rose Cabins and couldn't be happier with the outcome! We knew once we saw their portfolio that they were ones we wanted to shoot our wedding. Greg and Stacy are the perfect team! They are quick to respond to any calls and emails. They know what they are doing, so relax and have fun! We were truly blown away by our pictures and look forward to cherishing them for many years!

Zook Photo shot our wedding at Pine Rose in Lake Arrowhead on June 13, 2015. We are very happy with choosing Zook Photo as our wedding photographer. Greg and Stacy are a real personable couple and did an amazing job with our wedding photos. What we asked for, we received. Our wedding was captured beautifully! Wonderful shots of my husband and I along with all the wedding party, family and friends. Greg followed through with our picture requests and stayed on task. Loved their work and photography style which is classic and professional. Both Greg and Stacy are so friendly and care about the quality of their work. We loved our photos and Zook's work ethic.

Greg and his wife were awesome! We had our wedding at Lake Arrowhead Resort, not knowing anything about the area, since we're from the Midwest. He and his wife were very friendly and took the time to get to know is over the phone before our big day. Their expertise and professionalism is truly top-notch. Oh yeah, and the photos turned out great! We couldn't have asked for a better experience on our wedding!

Greg Zook is one of the best around! I mean that in terms of his photography but also Greg is just a great guy! He listens to your requests and your vision. Many florists and photographers want to push their visions on you- one of the frustrating parts of planning a wedding but not Greg! Him and his wife are genuine, but also extremely talented! I am an artist so it could have been ' too many cooks in the kitchen' when it came to the photography but Greg was open to the collaboration but also was true to his practice.. It is nice to find a vendor where costumer service is not dead and he wants you/ your family to look good! Take a look at his website- you will see the talent and creativity- He is not a standard photographer who looks for the frame and not the subject- He wants to work with you to make sure everything turns out great! I was so happy to see his work after the wedding and can't wait to see more. My photos in My Knot account were by him (Zook Photography). You will only be happy working with Greg-- I had no issues the entire way.

Greg and his wife are amazing! From the first time I spoke with them to the day we met with them to get our wedding pictures, we always felt like more then just customers with Zook Studios. Greg listened to what I wanted and even made sure we recreated any of the pics I found online that I really liked! I can't wait to share all my pics with everyone and wish I could get married again just to have Zook Studios take our pics!! Money well spent!

Amazing wedding photographer! From the first time me and my wife met Greg and Stacy we knew they would join us on our special day as our photographers! They work great as a team! Greg helped put together a perfect package that worked with our budget. We could not have been happier! Our package included engagement photo shoot, wedding and trash the dress. Greg was responsive, courteous, professional, and reasonably priced. The photos he created were stunning details of the wedding we now get to keep forever. Greg and Stacy He came early to the venue and were 100% ready well before wedding started! Greg is talented and professional, and his warmth and kindness add special elements to the event. He will not disappoint, as he captures your most meaningful moments in lasting photo form. I can't say enough great things about Zook Photography. They were extremely communicative and collaborative from day one. My wife and I were looking for a photographer to capture the special moments of the day, rather than solely focusing on portraits and we couldn't be happier with our wedding photos! Greg wasn't pushy or intrusive at all. We were so pleasantly surprised by some moments he captured, we never knew he was taking them! I would recommend Zook Photography in a heart beat. If you are looking for a wedding photographer, look no further. Meet with Zook Photography and you will see for yourself why it would be an easy choice!

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 6/22/2014

Greg Zook and his wife, Stacey, provide the best wedding photography service in the Big Bear and Inland Empire area, by far. Greg's attention to detail, his keen eye for candid shots, and his overall grasp of composition, color, and emotion is unparalleled amongst the photographers that are shooting in this area today. Stacey's Second camera is a wonderful added detail, capturing small details and secondary events that are occurring simultaneously as the main focus is on the bride and groom. My wife and I are so pleased with the outcome. The album, DVD, and flashdrive collection are amazing! Use this couple for your weddings, or even other special occasions. They are worth it.

Greg was awesome. Throughout the entire process he was always keeping us in the loop and checking in on us. Lots of businesses say that it's all about making you happy and how they just want you to be happy, but I've often found those are empty promises. Not with Greg. He does everything in his power to make you feel like your his only client. His energy and enthusiasm is infectious and makes for even better photos! We chose Greg for his outside the box thinking and his photos never look staged. He also got us our photos incredibly promptly and even sent us a sample of some photos a couple days of our wedding which meant we got so see some on our honeymoon. I wouldn't consider any other photographer as he is that awesome.

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

When my husband I were looking for a wedding photographer, we knew we wanted an edgy, stylized look. My sister in-law recommended Zook photography after seeing her friends photos on facebook. Greg and Stacy are incredibly nice people who really spent time getting to know us and getting an understanding of what we were looking for. He's professional and artistic at the same time. What we got were creative, beautiful photos that were exactly what we wanted. He captured our entire wedding in his photos and we couldn't be happier. The wedding album he created for us was more than we expected! It's gorgeous and we've had nothing but compliments. We couldn't be happier! Five stars all the way from first phone call to album pick up.

I first met Greg in August of 2012 when he posed as just another person in Big Bear but little did I know he worked very closely with my husband to plan the most amazing proposal. He captured one of the most amazing moments of my life and got the picture most girls dream about, the look on my face as I stared at the love of my life down on one knee asking for my hand in marriage. After the proposal we did an hour long shoot with Greg making me feel so comfortable and the pictures showed how happy my husband and I were. A few months later we contacted Greg and booked him to be our photographer for our wedding. We live in Southern California and our wedding was in Camarillo, CA. Greg and his wife Stacy made a trip out to Camarillo to see our venue to make sure he was prepared ahead of time for the shots we wanted on the big day. It was such an important thing to me that he did that so I was able to point out exactly what we wanted. I felt so confident in Greg and Stacy knowing that even though they are from out of town, they would be able to come and capture the day the way I imagined. Our engagement photos were part of our package. We knew we wanted our photos to be in the fall and back in Big Bear so we made the trip up the mountain in October. Stacy also does makeup and she did my make up for the shoot. I wanted a natural look and she did a beautiful job. She arranged for a hair stylist to be there as well for me. They both made me feel beautiful and I was very happy! The session turned out amazing. We went to several locations and got great shots. We then asked Greg and Stacy if they would mind going to my family's cabin in Fawnskin to get some photos and they were so supportive of the idea and drove up there for us. We got some of my favorite pictures at the cabin, they were beautiful and sentimental. Throughout this whole time leading up to the wedding Greg was in constant contact with my husband and made us both feel that the photography was the last thing we needed to stress about, as leading up to the wedding was becoming more and more stressful with each passing day! Come to the wedding day and Greg and Stacy did the most amazing job I ever could have asked for. They go above and beyond making sure that each photo is what you wanted. One of the many things that Greg did was stop and listen to what I asked for. If I wanted to take photos with my nephews and sisters he was calling for the people and made it happen. He was extremely respectful that we waited until the ceremony to see each other for the first time and worked so hard to make sure he got all our family, bridal party pictures, and pictures of the two us done within the cocktail hour. We have seen some of the photos and they are breathtaking. He captured the most amazing day of our lives and has become a true friend in the process. Greg and Stacy are amazing and I cant wait for them to shoot many more milestones in our lives. Thank you Greg and Stacy! Erin and Chris

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!! She made my skin look flawless and both Greg and Stacy have an ora about them that just makes you want to smile!! We cannot thank them enough for all they did for us! Ashley & Don Whitesell Lake Arrowhead Resort October 26, 2013

Greg did an amazing job at our wedding. We are extremely happy with the photos he took. Greg was easy to work with and got our photos back to us before we even returned from our honeymoon. Our photo book turned out great and is high quality. We would recommended Zook photography to everyone!!

Greg is the most amazing photographer. Having a great photographer is one of the most important parts of a wedding. He captured beautiful photos of my family, wedding, and guests. I would recommend him to anyone!

Zook Photography was such a pleasure to work with. My wife and I cannot believe how well our photos turned out. He was so easy to work with. Greg truly is an artist. Capturing perfect moments with beautiful hues, shades, light, and background. Incredible! The wedding book Greg put together was amazing. All his suggested photos were perfect. No change whatsoever . We are so pleased with the photos that we would strongly recommend to anyone considering. I'm glad to have met Greg and his wife. My wife and I can say we have new friends . Cheers!

Greg, After our wedding on July 27th, all of our friends and family members that have had the honor of seeing our wedding photos are in awe of how beautiful the photos are! Youre magical Greg, you have the ability to capture the emotion, beauty and details of the day. You are, without a doubt, fun yet very professional and responsive. You brought talent and experience to the table, which allowed us to trust you with capturing our memories. Thank you! You truly were a special part of our day and will continue to be a dear friend. Even as time goes on and some of the memories of the day begin to fade, we’ll never forget you! We always tell people that after the wedding is over, all you have is the photos to remember the big day. Quality is not expensive, it's priceless! We love you and can't wait for our next photo shoot with you.

We booked Greg Zook to shoot our wedding based on his glowing reviews from the resort and we were not disappointed. From the engagement photos to the actual wedding, everything turned out great. Our family and friends love the shots and we love our book. His energy and organization on the wedding day was very professional, and left us plenty of time to get all the really great shots we wanted. The bride and I highly recommend Greg for your Arrowhead wedding.

My husband and I recently found Greg Zook through Pine Rose Cabins and he photographed our wedding. Simply put Greg is AMAZING! He has such a unique eye for pictures that fits right in with our style. He is extremely easy to work with and will make you feel extremely comfortable on your special day. The thing I loved most was he was right there laughing with my crazy wedding party and loved it when any of us had suggestions, especially when I, the bride, wanted to climb on a tree in mg dress :). Greg makes you feel like family and needless to say, we have made a new friend.There is a reason Zook has a five star rating. He is the best in the business.The pictures are absolutely gorgeous! I promise that you will not be disappointed by using Greg Zook for any event!! We love him and can't wait to find an excuse to use him again. Thank you Greg for everything! You're awesome! Kenny & Shuree S. Pine Rose Wedding June 23, 2013

Hiring Zook Photography was the best decision I made on my wedding day (aside from marrying my husband). If I had to relive my wedding day, there a lot of things I would do differently, but hiring Greg Zook is something I would do again in a heartbeat. When doing my research I was looking for beautiful and artistic photos, Greg Zook definitely fit this criteria. There are a lot of things that I didn't realize were important and thankfully I found them all in Greg. He made us feel so comfortable, he made our family feel important (and beautiful), he hid into the background at the right moments but he didn't miss a single shot! He was LOVED by all our vendors, they said they had never worked with a better photographer. We purchased a few framed photos from Greg and they are so artistic and original we get tons of compliments from visitors, they are more than just pictures of us, they really bring me back to that amazing day every time I see them.

We could not be happier with our choice for our wedding photographer! Greg Zook is amazing! He is extremely professional and talented. There's nothing to worry about with him behind the camera. Leading up to my wedding day, I was mostly nervous about "posing" for pictures, but after just a few minutes with Greg, I felt like a model. He was very fun to work with. Of all our vendors, Greg was the most professional. He was always quick to respond to any questions I emailed him and would return phone calls promptly. WE HAD ALL OF OUR DIGITAL PROOFS WITHIN 2 WEEKS!! Pleasing the bride is truly his priority. The only hard part, was choosing pictures for the album. They were all so beautiful, it was hard to narrow it down! Greg (and your lovely assistant), thank you so much for all your hard work. I have been passing your card along to all of my engaged friends.

If you are looking for a photographer who has the gift to capture the beauty of your essence on your wedding day, Greg Zook is your man! He has the utmost integrity and qualified years of experience working with all types of clients from normal folks to celebrities. I found Greg to be a true professional that has a passion to do what it takes to ensure his clients are satisified every step of the way. A perfect example, if you are unsure on how to pose for your photos, Greg will take the time to give you direction that is simple to follow. The photos that Greg took of my wedding are absolutely beautiful! I have never seen such talent in photography! Please save yourself some time and call Greg as I can assure you, his work will exceed your expectations and ensure that all your special moments on your wedding day are caputured forever! Best Regards, Jamie Tarbet

Greg rocked it! He made everyone feel comfortable, completely understood what we wanted while integrating his eye for great shots. He captured every moment without us even knowing he was there. So thankful we found Zook Studios, truly the best!

Awesome! Awesome! They did my engagement photos too and I was impressed. Service and quality was outstanding. Very nice to work with and catered to my needs and wants!!

amazing photos, great guy, didn't feel he was in the way. i've heard that about others. stayed 45 minutes later than he was going to and didn't charge extra, made me feel pretty in front of the camera, gave tips on how to pose, sent us a preview of 8 photos while we were on our honeymoon. Does a red carpet preview of all the photos. I hope to do a mess the dress session with him in the near future. Just look at his website amazing photos.
