- John - Creator of 'Happy Tears'OwnerYears ago I added 'weddings' to my passion for 'special needs children' and 'homeless pets', for my video productions. I have been a pro-bono cinematographer, for charities; near and dear to my heart, ever since the days of 'VHS'. Nowadays, for WEDDINGS, I discount my pricing, quite generously, for couples in need. In short; I love helping deserving couples! 'Getting Married' is insanely expensive, but I feel such shouldn't be the case! So in short, I do my part. It's that simple.
- Jim - Mr. PersonalityCinematographer (who broke the mold)Happy Tears met Jim way back when we filmed HIS wedding (when he married his better half). Let's just say that the rest...is an ever-evolving history of unique proportions! Just read our reviews and you will see that Jim is repeatedly mentioned! He is truly ONE-OF-A-KIND! A RARE BREED!
- Rose Ask-Me-Anything-DisneyVideographer-Officiant-Wedding PlannerOther than Happy Tears' owner himself; Rose has the most tenure at Happy Tears! Her loyalty, and her work ethic, is SECOND-TO-NONE! We first met Rose, when she was officiating a wedding, long ago! Then, years later we filmed her wedding, when she married Mike; her high school sweetheart! Shortly thereafter, she joined our ranks, and ever since then, we feel nothing less than BLESSED!!! In short; we wish we had 10 clones of her! Just read our reviews, and you will find that she is often mentioned! All of our couples love her!!!
- Belle - Happy Tears' Rising StarVideographer / EditorLet's cut right to the chase; WE LOVE BELLE (and so do our couples!!!). Belle is a creative and talented film school graduate, and it shows! Her production skills continually excel in the fast lane!!! And her sweet personality is a great fit for our Happy Tears Family! Working with Belle is a real pleasure, to say the least!

Absolutely perfect experience – couldn’t recommend more!
Working with John was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the very beginning, he was quick, easy to communicate with, and incredibly friendly. He made the entire process feel so smooth and stress-free. His pricing was more than reasonable, and there were no surprises—he was upfront, transparent, and walked us through everything so we always knew exactly what to expect.
John is incredibly personable and genuine. You can tell he truly cares about his clients and wants to give them the best possible experience. I never once felt like “just another customer.” He was responsive, flexible, and so easy to work with every step of the way. I wouldn’t have gone with anyone else—he was the perfect choice.
On the day of the wedding, I had the pleasure of working with Rose, who was an absolute angel. The day was hectic and emotional, but she kept me calm, helped bustle my dress, and truly went above and beyond to support me. She was warm, professional, and just amazing to have by my side that day.
Then, the video… wow. We got it back so quickly and it was everything I hoped for. The quality was incredible, the editing was beautiful, and it captured every single moment I wanted. It was exactly what I asked for—and honestly, even better.
If you're thinking of booking with John, do it. You won’t regret it. He and his team are simply the best.

Thank you, to you and Justin; Rebecca, for being such the incredible couple that you are!!!

Well; at Jennifer's upcoming wedding, I say, to YOU: "DANCE LIKE IT'S YOUR WEDDING ALL OVER AGAIN"!!!

If you're looking for a videography team that not only captures the magic of your day but also amplifies it, look no further than Happy Tears! From the moment we reached out a year and a half ago, we knew we were in good hands.
John is so sincere and down to Earth. He kept in contact with us in the months leading up to the wedding and is always very transparent about what we should expect! Not to mention, the way he crafted our wedding video was nothing short of cinematic perfection. Every shot, every transition, every moment was woven together with so much heart and intention—it felt like reliving our day, only even more magical. We laughed, we cried (happy tears, of course), and we were truly speechless when we saw the final product. As if that weren’t enough, the turnaround time was unbeatable!
Now let’s talk about Jim - our cinematographer and unofficial hype man! From the second he arrived, he brought the energy and had us smiling & laughing. His ability to make everyone feel comfortable and confident was a huge part of why our footage looks so natural and joyful. Jim wasn’t just filming—he was cheering us on, helping get people on the dance floor, and genuinely celebrating alongside us. I even had multiple guests ask me if Jim was apart of the family!
This team didn’t just document our wedding, they elevated it. The video is something we will cherish for the rest of our lives, and we’re beyond grateful to John and Jim for giving us that gift.
If you're considering booking Happy Tears—do it!!!! You won't regret it for a second. They’re professional, passionate, and most importantly, they care. And that makes all the difference.

Happy Tears Productions was such a great choice. Their team was very flexible with both scheduling and pricing, and they really listened to what we wanted. The production quality of the video is beautiful — cinematic without feeling overly staged — and they were so detail-oriented throughout the entire process. We barely noticed the cameras all day, which we really appreciated.

We had an amazing experience with Happy Tears from start to finish. Communication throughout the process with John was excellent—super responsive and professional. On the day of, Jim brought the best energy: friendly, upbeat, and so much fun to be around. He made us and our guests feel totally at ease, which really shows in the footage.
The final video is so beautiful. It perfectly captures the joy, emotion, and excitement of the day. We would highly recommend Happy Tears to anyone looking for a talented and fun video team!

I cannot say enough good things about Happy Tears Production. John and his team are absolutely amazing to work with. John was easy to communicate with and quick to respond. We had Jim as our camera man and he quickly became our hype man throughout the day capturing all the details. His exuberating energy on the dance floor had our guest loving him and everyone wanted to be in front of the camera with Jim hyping them up. John then got to quick work with our video as we anxiously awaited, and in an extremely timely manner was able to give us our highlight video, which was absolutely amazing. Cannot recommend these guys enough.

Choosing Happy Tears for our wedding videography was truly one of the best decisions we made for our big day. From the first conversation to the final video, the experience was flawless.
Jim, our videographer, was incredible—so kind, professional, and completely on top of everything. He had this calm, reassuring presence that instantly put me at ease. He captured every moment so naturally and made the whole process feel effortless.
John, was amazing to work with as well. He stayed in touch with me throughout the entire planning process, always responsive and thoughtful. When we received our video, we were blown away—it was emotional, cinematic, and perfectly captured who we are and what that day meant to us.
If you’re considering booking Happy Tears—do it! We couldn’t be happier with our experience and would 1000% recommend them to anyone looking for meaningful, beautifully done wedding videography.

Happy Tears was absolutely wonderful from start to finish of the entire wedding process! As a couple who were very unsure if video coverage was necessary for our special day, we could not be happier or more satisfied with what the team produced and delivered to us in remembering every special moment of the day. The professionalism and communication from the Happy Tears business was 10/10. We enjoyed speaking with John on a regular basis so he could really understand what we were looking for in our wedding coverage. The team that arrived on wedding day were ready to go with smiles on their faces. They were such a pleasure to have tag along throughout the whole day and night! We would highly recommend Happy Tears to anyone looking for great video coverage at a very reasonable price!

Even passer's-by, on the boardwalk, couldn't take their eyes off of you guys!!! A couple like you two, simply makes our videos look even better!!! I am so happy that you love your video production, Bri! THAT'S ALWAYS THE GOAL!!! ;-)))

Happy Tears is who you want for your big day! Jim was so much fun! His good vibes made everyone laugh and smile all day. He captured so much n footage and bloopers I will always be able to look back on and remember. He did an amazing job. He got the bridal party involved by asking fun questions and having some silly moments. I got my wedding video back within the month! The communication John kept with me made the difference. I felt like we grew a relationship which I think helped him develop the best video for me. The turnaround was great. My videos were perfect it captured every special moment and more. My guests loved to watch it! The highlight video was light and fun! It brought me back to the day. Our extended version is a beautiful reminder of how my entire day went and captured all the small details I might have missed. Everything was spot on down to the background music. I am so happy I chose happy tears for my wedding day!

My husband and I got married back in June and had the pleasure of using happytearsproduction for our video. John was absolutely phenomenal. He made every meeting personable and made sure to keep everyone in the loop with constant updates.
Our videographer the day of our wedding was amazing! It was great, he actually knew my new sister and brother in law which just made the experience even greater! It was like he was a part of the family! He was extremely sweet and so creative with our family. Truly an amazing day!
We were extremely pleased and overjoyed with how our teaser video came out. It was truly what we asked for was made to represent us which we absolutely loved.
If you are even considering going with John at HappyTears, pull the trigger and do it! Truly an amazing company!

Happy Tears is an amazing company and we couldn’t be more thrilled with our completed wedding video. Dealing with the owner John Rink was a pleasure and our videographer Jim was amazing. From the start of the process, John walked us through each step and answered any/all questions along the way. John would regularly meet with us over the phone to ensure the process was smooth.
On the day of our wedding, Jim came with a positive attitude and high energy. Jim was easy to get along with, friendly and overall created a wonderful atmosphere. I would highly recommend Jim to anyone looking to book with Happy Tears.
The Happy Tears company gives a significant discount to Law Enforcement, Fire and Military personnel. Packages vary from 30%-50% for these groups. Being able to take advantage of this discount, Happy Tears was extremely affordable with a great final video product.
Happy Tears offers vintage style and documentary style editing. We chose to have documentary style editing as we wanted a longer wedding video. Our final video runs approximately 50 minutes. In addition to your final video, you also receive all of the raw footage from the wedding day. Overall, Happy Tears is a great company. You shouldn’t think twice about booking them for your wedding.

Hey Mackenzie! It was such a pleasure working with you and Vinny, from the beginning...!!...
! For one thing; as I've said to you guys, on our calls, I applaud Vinny's proactive involvement in your wedding planning! That's a rarity for 'Grooms'. ;-) In fact; Vinny and I were in contact with each other, more so that you and I were!! haha With that being said; both of you were great, every step of the way! And as for the wedding day, itself; I'm so appreciative of you mentioning 'Jim' in your very kind review, because Jim always gives 110%...no matter what! Jim and I both believe that every couple deserves our A-GAME...therefore that's precisely what we deliver!!! Thanks again; Mackenzie, AND "THANK YOU" TO VINNY, AS WELL!!! Have a great marriage, and may any possible tears, over the years, be exclusively "HAPPY" Tears!!! ;-)

My husband and I were going back and forth on whether or not to hire a videographer, but I am SO glad we decided to after finding John with Happy Tears. John (the owner) is extremely charismatic, uplifting, and positive. He just makes you feel so excited with every communication. He offers amazing discounts and is therefore very affordable, which proves that he truly does this for the love of his craft and his love for LOVE! John edits the videos, and after receiving ours, we were blown away! He captured moments I didn't even know happened, and had me crying "happy tears" while watching over and over again.
Now to our day of videographer - we were fortunate enough to have Joe and his son, Avery, with us on our wedding day, and I cannot say enough great things about them both! Joe has been in this business for over 20 years, so I knew we were in good hands, but he really proved us right! He was directive, detail-oriented, creative, and professional. My husband and I barely knew they were there the whole day, which is so important to capture truly candid moments. We are forever grateful to John, Joe, and Avery for being a part of our wedding day and capturing moments that we will hold close forever.

Jim was our videographer & when I say Jim not only captured the party he created the party! Jim was the hype man of the century! Beyond polite & professional, while also partying with us. Jim made us feel so comfortable ! John the owner, was in contact before during and after my wedding always checking in! We appreciate all of the friendly reminders and encouragement from their company through the process. In just a few short weeks I received my wedding video and it was PERFECT! I could not recommend Happy Tears enough! We are so grateful we chose them as our vendor.

Hey Brooke! Thank you, a million times over, for such a well-written review! And you're ...
spot-on about Jim! The HYPE MAN HE IS!!! hahaha And how could he NOT join in the fun, with all the fun that was happening on the dance floor; Right?!? Your DJ "Danny D" from Danny D Events, gets most of the credit; however, for packing your dance floor, all night long! Jim said that Danny was a real rockstar!! As I was working on your production, those sentiments by Jim were easily confirmed! And let's give a shout-out to your venue (Linwood Country Club) as well. We love Linwood CC to the MAX! Both the management, and the staff, are real Pro's!!! And speaking of "Pro's", Jim told me that it was a real pleasure working with your photographer "Jenn", from Jennifer Sofia Photography! Do you feel that you had THE 'A' TEAM OF VENDORS, or WHAT?!?

"Happy Tears" did the most beautiful job of capturing our wedding in both a highlighted version, and an extended version.

They were a pleasure to work with and I would gladly refer them to any couple in need of a videographer for their wedding!

What can I say, absolutely unreal production and energy by happy tears. Our videographer was a fundamental reason of how energetic our crowd was for the entire ceremony and reception. He had total crowd control which matched up perfectly with our music, and I continue to get compliments about him to this day. The shoots were phenomenal as well, he captured all of the main moments while also getting in candid shots of our family and friends. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience, it was honestly perfect.
They took their time to understand what kind of wedding we wanted, and when the day came, they executed flawlessly and above and beyond. You won’t be disappointed!

You two, together; were so photogenic! And speaking of "photo...", is your photographer; "Key", from Key Moments Photography, SPLENDID or WHAT?!? Everyone on my staff LOVES working with Key! We've all worked with her a number of times, and each and every time is a JOY! And you and Shyla already know what a bonus it is when your photographer and your videographer GEL TOGETHER!!! Nothing makes for a better day; lemme tell ya!! Well Jordan; don't be a stranger, ok?? Let's stay in touch! I love becoming friends, with as many of our clientele as possible!

10000/10 John is absolutely amazing and so easy to work with. He kept up with communication amazing and always kept us updated. He gave us back our wedding highlight video a week after our wedding! Jim was the videographer for the night and he was SOO fun he was out on the dance floor with all the guests getting the best footage. He was super involved and helped bring the fun!! For those that are healthcare workers, Happy Tears offers discounts which was greatly appreciated and he’s super lenient with payments- even allows final payment up to two weeks after the wedding! That was unique and super kind. Absolutely amazing.

Hey Kacie; WOW..."10,000/10" YOU SAY?!? Now THAT'S the HIGHEST STAR RATING OF THE CENTURY...
!!! ;-) Thank you, so much, Kacie! I absolutely positively LOVE IT whenever someone's energy matches MINE; and YOU JUST DID SUCH!!!! hahaha And thank you for mentioning how I feel about healthcare workers, such as those in the nursing profession, and actually all of those amazing people who are selfless in their careers, as they care for others! I have a very special place, in my heart, for said people, for a wide variety of reasons! Now...regarding your wedding; OMG is your venue, THE BRADFORD ESTATE, INCREDIBLE OR WHAT?!? I cannot even begin to tell you how much we love filming weddings there! Both the management, and the staff, are rock solid professionals, am I RIGHT?!? And hey...we're going back there, for what...your 5th anniversary??? Or will it be your 10th...??? Either way; I'M IN...!!!!!!!! ;-)

From our first contact with John from Happy Tears, we knew him & his crew would be the perfect addition to our special day! John was absolutely fabulous with communication and making sure our wedding day was everything we dreamed of and more. John was so personable and friendly throughout the entire process. Jim from Happy Tears was the shooter on our wedding day. He brought so much positive energy to the day, listened thoroughly to our wants, and got the BEST shots. Our friends and families are still talking about how awesome Jim was on wedding day! Everyone from happy tears is extremely fun and pleasant to work with and would recommend to anyone in need of a wedding videographer! We cannot stop watching, crying, and laughing to the perfect video of our perfect day! The video is jaw dropping.

Hey Madison! OMG I cannot even begin to tell you how happy I am that Ashley (Ashley Silva...
Family Photography) referred you to us, here at Happy Tears, as the result of us filming HER wedding, long ago!!! Ashley is a real sweetheart, and quite frankly; SO ARE YOU, MADISON! Your wedding footage, by my Cinematographer; Jim, was SO MUCH FUN to edit! So thank you for mentioning Jim, in your review! He truly deserves all the praises that virtually everyone sings for him!!! So...on that note, I want us to all get together again, sometime! Let's call in a mini reunion! But in the meantime; how about you and Issac just bask in the newlywed life for a while?!? In fact; KEEP IT FEELING NEW, FOR A VERY LONG TIME! I have faith that you guys can easily do that! You two are clearly sooooooo much in love!!!!!! :)))))

We had our wedding this past Saturday and Happy Tears did our videography. Where do we even start! We originally weren’t going to do a video because it was out of budget for us but at the last minute (I’m talking days before the wedding!!) it became a possibility. We reached out to John on a referral from our photographer as they didn’t have a team member available and he was so patient and kind with us even though we were basically presenting him with an unrealistic task. He was super understanding of our situation and spent night and day to make this a reality for us. He walked us in detail through all the packages and made sure we understood the differences but was not pushy about any upgrades. Joe was our videographer and he was amazing. He worked so well with our photographer and he made us feel so comfortable, we barely noticed him there. We highly recommend John and his team!

Hey Nina! I absolutely love your super kind words! And I'm glad you've mentioned us, her...
e at Happy Tears, being referred by your photographer (United Elite Photography) because the owner of United Elite (Marcia) is a wedding industry rockstar! And your photographer "Olga", is at the top of the United Elite Class!!! We LOVE working with Olga!!!!! And thank you for mentioning our guy "Joe"! As cliche as it may sound, we know him as "Joe The Pro"!! haha. Seriously though; Joe is the optimum professional. And while we're at it; let's give a shout-out to Joe's Assistant, his very own Son; Avery! Joe and Avery are the "A" TEAM, for sure!!! Working on your wedding production, editing Joe's footage, is a real pleasure beyond belief!! And you already know the result! I could not have said it any better, myself! So thank you, so so much, Nina, to both you and Renzo, for hiring Happy Tears for your wedding! May you and Renzo enjoy many happy years together, with any tears being exclusively HAPPY tears...!! ;-)

We cannot express enough gratitude to the team at Happy Tears for their incredible work on our wedding video. Jeff captured the most beautiful footage of our special day, preserving every moment with an artistic eye that brings our memories to life. John was amazing to work with, guiding us through the entire process and ensuring every detail matched our vision. He even made sure our dogs had their special moment in the video, which means the world to us. The final result is beyond beautiful—a perfect reflection of our day and who we are as a couple. Every time my husband and I watch it, we find ourselves tearing up with joy all over again! We cannot thank the Happy Tears team enough for capturing our wedding day so perfectly and wholeheartedly recommend them!

Hey Megan!! You and James are a great couple, and THAT'S AN UNDERSTATEMENT!!! When the 3...
of us were discussing your wedding, on our pre-wedding call, just a month or so ago, I was so excited to get your footage into production! First and foremost; the fact that you were having both your doggies involved, is JUST THE BEST...!!! Being the dog-lover that I am, I always get major goose bumps whenever a couple tells me that their dogs are going to be in the wedding!!! THEN; OMG THAT AWESOME MUSCLE CAR in the mix!!! What great footage that car created for us!!! I've actually shown your video to some of my 'car friends' and the 'feedback word' was "WOW"!!! And speaking of the word "wow"...OMG YOUR WEDDING DRESS WAS THE PERFECT FIT FOR YOU!!!! LIKE A GLOVE!!!! YOU, my Dear; KNOCKED IT OUTTA THE PARK (and of course I'm sure that James agrees; 100%).

When we originally had first spoken with John from Happy Tears, something about that conversation just seemed so right! My husband and I immediately knew that we were in great hands and that our visions would all come to life in terms of our wedding videography. One thing that stood out to us was John's flexibility with payment and packages for teachers. That was extremely helpful to my husband and I and we are so grateful that we have used Happy Tears for our video services. On the wedding day, the Happy Tears team showed up early and were working diligently throughout the entire wedding day, which included our drone footage of the venue, getting ready, ceremony and reception. We received our video footage in a timely manner and it was such a lovely surprise to see the extensive lengths that the Happy Tears team went through to provide us with the most heartwarming and beautifully produced film to capture our dream day. We are so glad that we chose Happy Tears and working with John and Jim was such an easy process and now our wedding footage is our favorite thing to watch. Now we have these memories forever and we are so forever grateful for John, Jim and Happy Tears for making our dreams come true!

Hey Jodi! WOW! You just made my weekend, with all of your ultra-kind words!!! Thank you...
, a thousand times over!!! You and Joe make such the perfect couple! The best part, about the two of you, is that the love you guys share is evident. I love how you two RARELY SEPARATED, throughout your wedding day, once you saw one another! And on top of that; the way you two look at each other is just another way of spelling the word "LOVE"!!! You two have an amazing future in store; I can tell!!!! God Bless you both; Jodi!

We decided to go with Happy Tears based off a recommendation, we are so glad we did. From beginning to end, John was informative and thorough. The day of our wedding we had 2 shooters, Belle & Jim who both did a great job at capturing the moments. Our teaser video followed by the wedding trailer were done so quickly, it was “happy tears” the moment we pressed play. The one thing I wanted the most for our wedding was a videographer to capture all of the moments I knew we would not be able to witness due to how busy the day would be. We were very satisfied with the work produced by John and his team; we now get to watch our video forever.

And btw; both of them couldn't stop talking about your wedding day, the day after; when I was speaking with on our post-wedding day follow-up conversation! Once I heard all that they had to say, I just couldn't wait to begin editing all of the amazing footage that they filmed! So; I am so happy that you loved your production! I thank you, again; and I wish you and Justin all the best that marriage has to offer!!!

I worked with John and Joe on my wedding and I truly can't recommend them enough. John is caring, kind, and truly someone who will do anything to make sure that his clients are happy. We chatted wedding things and beyond and all throughout the wedding planning process, John checked in on us. He started as a vendor but truly became a friend! He is an incredibly talented video editor and has such skill in what he does! Joe, our videographer, has a keen eye to catch moments! He can look around a room and capture all the right moments to make sure that watching this video will feel like reliving the day. I'll cherish this video forever! thank you, John & Joe.

I don’t even know where to start with our experience with John and everyone at Happy Tears. Like most we went back and forth about getting a videographer but the second we talked to John we knew we had to have Happy Tears at our wedding! Jim was our head videographer and we still are getting guests telling us that he was amazing and the best videographer they have ever seen. We had a blast getting to know John and loved working with his team! Our love and appreciation for this company exploded when we got our highlight reel and our documentary back. It exceeded our expectations capturing the day with laughs tears and a lot of great dancing. We can not put into words how invaluable it is to have a video we can watch for all the years to come. Thank you happy tears for making our day the best and for making a video that captures it all!

John at Happy Tears was wonderful to work with! He helped make sure we were prepped and ready for our big day. Our videographer for the day was Jim, and he was great! He made sure we got the footage we wanted and kept the day going smoothly. I highly recommend using Happy Tears. We got our highlight video back super quickly and it came out amazing. And a big selling point for us was their support for law enforcement!

Within less than a week we got not only a teaser but our wedding highlight video back! Getting our video back that quickly was amazing, my husband and I were able to watch it on our honeymoon and relieve the entire day. Highly recommend anyone looking to book a videographer for there wedding to book Happy Tears!

John (the owner/editor) sent us two of the best videographers (Joe and Avery) we could’ve ever asked for! They were super professional and creative, and they captured the energy surrounding the day so well. Working with John leading up to the big day was so fun and easy. The turnaround time is incredible too!! We got our highlights video two weeks after the wedding, and safe to say there were plenty of happy tears to go around. Thank you John and team for your incredible work! We are so grateful to have found you guys and appreciate everything!

They are an incredible group of talented professionals who really know how to capture the important moments of your special day. My husband and I are military, and John worked diligently and tirelessly to make sure every single detail was perfect. His communication is quick and professional, his pricing is more than fair, and his team is full of fun and energetic videographers that will capture the big moments and keep the excitement high all night long. We can’t thank John and his team enough for taking our very last minute request, and absolutely crushing it. We are so happy to have such beautiful videos to look back on and show our children one day! Book with Happy Tears! You won’t regret it!

10/10 experience. Working with Happy Tears Production was one of the best decisions my husband & I ever made. They are incredible & such a fun company to work with. We met them a year ago when they shot a wedding we were in. Jim was the videographer at the time & he was awesome, to say the least. Once we saw the finished product of the wedding video, we knew we were hiring them to do ours as well when the time came. A few months later, we got engaged & wasted no time contacting Happy Tears Production. Since that day John, who is the owner of Happy Tears, has been incredible. He reaches out & checks in, he talks you through all of the packages, & he also includes the groom in almost every conversation. My wedding was on 04/13 & two days later, I got a 1.5 minute long teaser video & let me just tell you.. I already know that was some of the best money we spent. Jim, the videographer that just shot my wedding, is AMAZING. He is so friendly, full of great energy, & knows exactly what he’s doing. My family has used Happy Tears Production for multiple different occasions, I can’t say enough great things about the company & their team. Hire Happy Tears Production for all of your events, but especially your wedding & engagement, you WILL NOT regret it. Thank you again to John for being so wonderful & thoughtful. And to Jim, for being there on our wedding day capturing all of the special moments. We are so grateful for Happy Tears!

Jim was so much fun on the day of our wedding, so fun getting the crowd up and dancing for our entrance and videos. Cannot recommend Happy Tears enough!!!!!

We had the absolute best experience with Happy Tears and would recommend them to everyone! John (owner) is wonderful to work with. The communication from start to end was amazing. He answered every question there was and was so patient the entire time. He even gave suggestions to us which was much appreciated for the day and gave us the best footage! They are also very flexible. We added and changed things about the day of our wedding very last minute and they had no problem accommodating us. On top of service being incredible, price was reasonable as well! We had Jim shoot the footage on the day of the wedding and there are not enough good things to say! He was a part of the party and it was such a joy to work with him. He made the entire day so fun and so easy and we felt so lucky. Overall, I would recommend 10/10 every day! An amazing company to work with. They really make you feel like family and not just a client.

Set your expectations high and GET EXCITED. If your looking for a reliable, amazing videographer, YOUR SERCH IS OVER. Happy Tears Productions has the rockstar team you are looking for. They are absolutely AMAZING.
The first time I ever saw Happy Tears in action was at my best friends wedding. The team blends right in with the guests in the BEST way possible. You can really tell how much they enjoy the job that they do and ooh my goodness; they do it damn well. I knew officially that I wanted to have Happy Tears Productions after that day. They allowed ME (not even the bride) to have a second go at my best friends wedding because the video footage of her highlights brought it all back and allowed me to really relive that day. I think I watched it more than she did.
Anyway, the point is that HAPPY TEARS productions have completely exceeded my expectations.
I knew I wanted to work with them not only because my best friend used them, but I could see the work they did and how proud and happy they are when doing it.
If you didn't know by now that the owners name is John Rink, well, now you know. I'm so proud and so lucky to know someone who truly cares about his business and is completely involved. The process of planning and paying was made super easy. I have Johns contact number and any time I had a question, concern or just something I wanted to bring up, he was responsive and ready to talk; and trust me I had lots of questions and concerns. He makes time for his clients and he truly cares. It was a pleasure working with him and his team- specifically Jim (my second shooter) who was just so fun to work with as a bride- THANKS JIM. John is personable and professional on every level. He has become a friend through the process and it feels good to trust the vendors that you bring in for your special day or occasion.
When it was finally my time to really start planning my wedding I didn't hesitate before I called John Rink and said I was ready to book. Happy tears takes every opportunity they can to help you get the best deal for the money you are spending and I promise you it's well worth it.
Having a second shooter is key to capturing every moment from the best possible angles.
Only a couple weeks out AFTER our wedding day we received the most amazing teaser video. John was so quick with his return on services. I was PLEASANTLY stunned.
I couldn't believe the masterpiece he put together. THANK GOD we had John and Jim to capture the moments because although we weren't drinking too much we still didn't remember all parts of our wedding.
Happy tears has made a HUGE impact on our lives for our wedding day. Friends and family are able to look back on our special day and it truly warms my heart in the effort and time that was put into the footage that was taken and put together.
I truly have all good things to say about Happy Tears and the team that comes with it. They have allowed my husband and I to re-live our day over and over. I catch myself dancing, laughing, smiling, and crying those HAPPY TEARS every single time I watch my videos. I promise you won't regret booking with this company. It's worth the reasonable price and its worth the short wait period.
John- thank you for being so quick, so professional and so friendly and just showing that there is a love for what you do. Having a videographer is one thing, but having YOU John Rink ; and your team is like NO other.
HIRE THIS COMPANY BEFORE YOUR DATE IS TAKEN!!

OMG Jess, that review of yours was absolutely fantastic! Jim and I never stop talking abo...
ut your wedding!! Regardless of what our topic of conversation might be, it seems that at some point…one of us brings up your wedding! It’s usually something like “Yea, like Jessica and James” or “don’t ya wish every couple was more like Jessica and James!!!” or “Wow! Do you absolutely love Jessica’s energy or what?!?” And my favorite part of your entire day is something that I don’t think I will ever stop talking about which is that of your personal vows between you and James!!!!!!! Those vows get an “11”, on a “1 to 10” scale!!!! As you know I have already told you how I felt, about your vows, when I felt that I just had to call you, during my editing process, to tell you that I was actually tearing-up (Happy Tears, of course) as I was at the stage of your vows!!! I will never forget that conversation with you, as I don’t think I will ever forget all of our many conversations, that we have had together! I sincerely love and appreciate you, Jess!!!! You and James will always have a special place in my heart! Yes; I know that sounds cliché, but it is truly pinpoint accurate! To put it another way; you are never going to get rid of me!!!!! Next on the big list…is that of your honeymoon! I definitely want pictures and details of all of the beautiful sites and scenes that you and James will be seeing, at the very least! And when you guys eventually return… I want you both to stay on that “honeymoon high”, for as long as you possibly can!!! in fact, as you two are living married life together, whenever you may feel a quarrel or a disagreement coming on, I have an assignment for you: Call a “time-out”, and then the both of you just re-watch your wedding videos, right at that moment! If you carry out this assignment, I guarantee you that you both will literally forget about whatever it was, that was causing some tension… Trust me, Jess! This ‘assignment’ of mine, is my Magic Formula… It Works; big time!!!!!!!

But I can't write, herein, some of the things I call HIM!!! hahaha). Seriously though; thank you so much for mentioning Jim, in your review! And "hype" is an UNDERSTATEMENT! He could be one of those infomercial promoters saying things like "CALL NOW", "BUY NOW", "HURRY, BEFORE IT'S ALL GONE!!!" hahahahaha He's a real piece of work (but I love him, as does everyone else, it seems!!). :)

We cannot say enough great things about happy tears! My husband actually found them from a friend who used the company because he loved their work so much. Our video was the most important to us, and from our first phone call, we knew that John and his team would be perfect for us. He took the time to listen to our needs and understand what we wanted with our video. We met multiple times and John listened to our thoughts and gave recommendations for which package we should go with. We were even offered a discount because I am a nurse, and happy tears is great with discounts for essential workers. On our wedding day, our videographers were incredible. They perfectly captured candid moments, the important moments, and everything in between. We had stationary cameras, moving cameras, and drones, and we are blown away by our video. One of our videographers, Rose, even told us to take a moment for ourselves before cocktail hour, and it made us take a moment for ourselves before the craziness of the night. Our videographers got our guests hype and got absolutely incredible footage. Lastly, one of the reasons we went with happy tears is because they create a coffee table book that actually plays our wedding video, which was something we really wanted. John made it happen for us and we are so grateful. John has been absolutely amazing, constantly checking in with us, before and after the wedding. We are so pleased with our footage and could not have asked for better.

My husband and I cannot thank Happy Tears Video enough for our beautiful video! I found happy tears video on Facebook in a bridal group after finding myself in a situation where i needed a new videographer. John the owner has been such an amazing person to work with! He always answered all my questions in a timely manner and even set up phone meetings to go over every detail leading up to the wedding. The day of we had Jeff and he was incredible. He worked perfectly with our photographers getting the perfect shots for our video. We received our final video just a day under from one month of the wedding and it was absolutely perfect! Not only did we have happy tears reliving the day but we also laughed and smiled. I cannot recommend John and his team enough!!

Happy Tears was the best decision we made during the wedding planning process! From our first call with John, we knew we had made the right decision for videography. John was super informative, communicated regularly, and was just a pleasure to work with all around. I looked forward to our calls where we discussed everything wedding related and of course our love of dogs! 😊 What really stood out when picking this vendor, was discounts offered for veterans/active military/police officers/teachers etc. For someone who has a brother who is in law enforcement, it’s appreciated that the company recognizes their sacrifice. Jim was our videographer for the day of the wedding and let me tell you, he was a ton of fun! He’s a great guy who did a great job and we loved having him around for the day. Lots of guests commented on how great he was! I would highly recommend Happy Tears to anyone looking for an amazing wedding video. John put together an unbelievable video that we will cherish forever. Thanks, Happy Tears!

Hey Caitlin! OMG I COULD JUST FEEL THE SINCERITY, coming from you, as I was reading that ...
incredible review, for which I am eternally grateful! And thank you for mentioning your Cinematographer; "Jim", in your review! Jim actually called me, while on his way home, after shooting your wedding, and the first thing he said, to me, was "DUDE! WAIT UNTIL YOU SEE THIS FOOTAGE...!!!" So; he set the tone...right then and there, and I was therefore super-eager to jump into your project! And Jim was right! I mean "WOW"!!! JUST "WOW"...!!!!!!! What a GREAT WEDDING DAY YOU HAD!!!! I loved every moment of putting your video together, Caitlin! I found myself saying "OMG SHE'S GONNA LOVE THIS PART...."!!! I actually caught myself saying that, out loud...!! I do not often 'talk to myself', but I sure did exactly that; while editing your video! HEY! MAY I LOOK FORWARD TO A 1st Anniversary celebration??? I do not want to lose touch with you; Caitlin! ;-)

Happy Tears was so fun to work with. The owner John was so wonderful and he also offered a generous discount since my husband is a first responder. Jim was our videographer and my guests are still talking about how fun he was. I felt like I was the main character in a romcom. His energy was contagious and he was dancing with us and directing us during songs to be the center of attention. Happy Tears exceeded my expectations more than I can believe. I cannot believe how beautiful and perfect our videos are. Thank you Happy Tears!!

Hey Kate! Thank you for your very kind review! You and Dan certainly made a great couple...
! Producing your highlights video was a real pleasure, for me! WOW! JIM SURE CAPTURED A LOT OF GREAT FOOTAGE for you! And speaking that footage, I am actually completing the compilation of your raw footage, today, and I will have that to you, before the sun goes down (so that your video production will be complete!). I know you're going to love watching all the footage!!!!! :)

Hey Courtney! Thank you, so much, for your very nice review! I remember that you were a ...
bit on-edge, at the beginning of the day, so I asked Jim to pay you some special "feel good" attention when he arrived. So; when you text'd me, the very next day, and told me that Jim was a big help to you/your nerves; and then everything was pretty-much smooth-sailing, afterwards; I was very happy to hear that! And now that your wedding is officially in the history books, I encourage you to stay on that HONEYMOON HIGH, all the way up to, and including, your first anniversary! And in the meantime; just keep re-living your big day, via your video production!!! :)))
