HAPPY TEARS PRODUCTIONS

videographer! He was able to get awesome shots for our first look and the rest of the day! Our video teaser was absolutely perfect without Happy Tears even knowing how fitting the song and effects were prior to. My husband and I can't wait see the full video from our special day. Thank you, thank you, thank you John and his team!!

need to mention how enthusiastic John is about his work and getting to know the couples he is filming. Rose was amazing and captured so many special moments! She and our photographer worked unbelievably well together and as a team they made the day so much fun! John had our video back to us within 3 weeks! Each time we have shown it to family and friends, we cry...HappyTears!

have to postpone our initial wedding date because of Covid and obviously were incredibly stressed given that. John was not our our videographer but a friend to us during that time. Thank you for all the chats, advice, and helping but together the keepsake of a lifetime. We had a teaser, a highlight film, full ceremony film, and even got some drone footage and will be getting raw footage as well. We were completely thrilled with the outcome of the quality of the work and the price was very fair and reasonable as well. Thank you John and team for making our day one to remember (:

eo was the best decision we made! From the start, John made us feel comfortable and was very personable, professional, and attentive. Prior to the wedding day, we had several conversations and discussed the details of the wedding and what we wanted. He really got to know us, and we thoroughly enjoyed working with John! John and Chris captured so many details of the wedding day that I missed as the bride, and it was wonderful to be able to watch it all on the video! We also had both forgotten about some of the details since the day goes by so fast, so that was amazing to be able to relive our wedding day when we watch the video! John recorded our voices reading the letters my husband and I wrote to each other the day of the wedding, and it was such a perfect touch! He also had great ideas for the first look at the venue. The video not only brought tears to our eyes, but our friends, family, and even coworkers cried when they saw it! Happy tears, of course  Our wedding teaser video was ready immediately, and our video was ready within two weeks of the wedding! I couldn’t be happier with the video and choosing Happy Tears and working with John and his team was the best decision we made! I can’t say enough wonderful things them, and I would highly recommend Happy Tears to anyone planning a wedding! Thank you again for the amazing video and capturing our day so perfectly!

e so encouraging and made my nerves go away with their helpful suggestions and calming demeanors. They also got some OUSTANDING footage of the dance floor and first looks. 100% would use Happy Tears again.

every single postponement (3 different ones). He was responsive and very thorough. Our video was given to us within a month time (earlier than a month), and we love it. The quality is great, and it really captured all our exciting moments from the day. I cannot recommend John and Happy Tears enough. I am so glad we decided to have a videographer and, more importantly, that we picked Happy Tears!

free of charge in addition to videoing our rescheduled wedding for the following year. He was very accommodating with everything. He made sure he had all of the information he needed before our wedding. Our video turned out amazing, better than we could have imagined. He even was able to combine our small Covid wedding video and our big wedding video into one. Everything was perfect. All of the moments we wanted captured were captured. The drone shots really made the video as well.

y of his work! He spoke to us several times before our wedding to make sure he knew what was important to us. John was a pleasure to work with and did an absolutely amazing job on our wedding video. I would recommend him to everyone to capture their BIG day!

al productions and couldn’t imagine any one but John to do the job! Rashid would also like to extend a special thank you for naming him the Happy Tears groom of 2021!! We recommend Happy Tears to anyone without any hesitation!

had all of the details we needed from day 1 of booking with him. He helped make our wedding a memorable event we would never forget. Chris was our videographer for the day and he was on time, professional, and very friendly and social. He made us all feel comfortable and was able to capture our favorite moments. Happy Tears Production had a very fast turn around and my husband and I cannot stop watching our documentary styled video.

which made this process so much easier. He truly cares about his customers and giving them what they want and it is executed through his work. We had Jaqueline the day of to shoot the footage and she did such an amazing job capturing our day so we can always look back to relive that moment. Thank you guys so much. We are extremely happy with the videos. We will continue to recommend happy tears for anyone looking.

time John was understanding and supportive. He was in touch every step of the way and truly made us feel like we were family. On our big day we had Jacqueline and Chris shoot the wedding, and they were both just as kind, caring, compassionate, and professional! After receiving all three of our videos we are absolutely thrilled with the outcome!!!! We are SO happy with the final productions and couldn’t have pictured anyone else capturing our big day!!!! Thanks again, John, Jacqueline, Chris, and the entire Happy Tears Team! You are all fabulous and were a dream to work with from day one!! We would recommend this video team to anyone.

around! Communication was quick and clear. Cost was half of other companies I researched beforehand. Our videographer was professional and fun. Initially, my style preference was “cinematic”. However, the bride wanted “documentary” (and bride gets what bride wants) but I feel like we got the best of both styles. John and Chris did amazing, beautiful work! From pre-wedding prep and background music to aerial footage of the venue’s sunset, I couldn’t have imagined anything more perfect. Three cheers for Happy Tears!

any changes that needed to take place. He gave great advice about our wedding day and he and his team worked amazingly with our photographer. I would absolutely recommend Happy Tears!

leaving any details out. John also gave us the option of doing a voice over on our video which added the perfect touch, as well as drone footage! On our wedding day, he made sure to capture all the big and little moments and it was amazing to look back on once we watched our video! He went above and beyond to make sure we had something great to remember for years. We would 100% recommend Happy Tears for anyone looking for a videographer!

ody and anybody in the marker for a videographer!

riendly and informative during our first phone call. He made us feel comfortable, made recommendations and was a joy to talk to. When we decided to use Happy Tears, an easy decision to make, John kept in touch throughout the time as our wedding day approached. He was very professional, asking questions, and making suggestions so that he could make sure he could capture all of our special moments. When the big day arrived, he was on time, friendly, professional and very attentive to the details without being intrusive. Within a few days we received our highlights video and it was Beautiful, Amazing, Fantastic (and many other super nice descriptions)! He captured the important, personal moments, the fun moments and others that I didn’t even know had happened. The video is so beautiful that is literally brought happy tears to mine, my husband’s, and family member’s, eyes. I highly recommend using Happy Tears for your videographer. You will not be disappointed. Thank you so much, John and Happy Tears, for how you captured our special day in such a beautiful and amazing way.

him. He gifted us an engagement video session and the video was FANTASTIC. Everyone that watched it cried (happy tears). My fiancé is a cancer patient, and we struggle financially, but John made sure not only to give us a beautiful package at an affordable price, but to offer other vendor suggestions. We found our wonderful photographer through him! He also, out of the kindness of his heart, offered to help us create a GoFundMe for our dog’s surgery. This man is selfless, caring, compassionate, and an all around great person. We are a o looking forward to having him capture our big day. THANK YOU JOHN

energy to the whole experience. We were very comfortable with him. He was reliable throughout the entire process and exceeded our expectations in regards to the timeline of our completed product as well as the quality of the videos he provided! If you haven’t watched some of the Happy Tears sample videos, you should! Now I am lucky enough to have a beautifully personalized video of my own to remember such a momentous and happy occasion in my life. I know looking back on this day, being able to hear and see the night unfold will be something that I always treasure. A perfect experience from start to finish, 10/10, 5 stars, 100%. Thank you John, for being a part of our special day and for capturing lasting memories for us.

s were going and if we needed any help. The prices are great for the product. The production he shared with us is 10/10. I am so happy we chose to work with happy tears. We almost decided not to have a videographer and I could not be happier that we decided to spend the extra money to have our day recorded for a lifetime!

an easy going personality and is a bit of a comedian. We enjoyed talking and working with John. Our video was absolutely beautiful and brought tears to my eyes. I was able to relive my wedding day. He captured so many details that I missed. As a bride, you are rushed around and miss a lot of what's going on around you. John made sure to include everything in our video. If you are thinking about writing letters to each prior to the ceremony, ask John for different ideas. My husband is private and did not want me to read the letter he had wrote me out loud. John had an amazing idea to record our voices for the video, so as I read the letter silently you could hear my husband's voice reading it. That was a great idea and really put a sentimental touch in our video. I would highly recommend Happy Tears Videographery to everyone I possibly can. John was like a fly on the wall. You never even knew he was there the whole night. Even my guests said they never realized he was video taping. Everyone feels comfortable with him around and continues to act themselves. John did a great job! I cannot express that enough.

our lives. We were initially leaning towards no videographer due to pricing, but once we found John it was a perfect match. He offers a variety of packages and is willing to work with you to build a package that works for you and your budget so that you can have lasting memories. Do NOT hesitate or think twice on Happy Tears, just do it!!

John is so kind and personable. He worked with our budget, was available to answer questions and stayed in contact with me throughout everything (postponing/rescheduling). He did an amazing job editing our highlight video and I can’t wait to see our full video!! I am so happy we decided to get video and I have these memories to cherish and re-live forever!

our first conversation with John we knew we found the perfect company. He was extremely accommodating to our last minute request and made us feel so special. Our wedding video is absolutely prefect!!! We did have “happy tears” after watching it and are so excited to show the video to our family and friends!!

tress free and easy as possible and made everything exactly how we wanted it! John had our teaser, highlight footage & final video edited and completed extremely quickly! We loved everything!! Highly recommend happy tears!

ed to see that Happy Tears covered a wedding that I had attended! Once we decided to move forward with Happy Tears, many phone conversations with John were exchanged where he got to know us as a couple and our unique style. We felt comfortable telling him what we liked and what we didn’t. On the day of our wedding, our videographer, Chris, was wonderful. He was on-time, professional, approachable, and amazing at his job! Our wedding teaser video was ready TWO DAYS LATER and it was AMAZING! Shortly after, our official wedding video was finished and I could not be more happy with it. There is nothing like re-living the best day of your life over and over again. John was personable in his interactions with us and so supportive of our commitment. I could not be more pleased with Happy Tears and our wedding video. Do yourself a favor and choose Happy Tears!

ng for your wedding. He is always available to answer any questions and has the biggest heart. For me, my wedding video was one of the most important aspects of wedding planning because your wedding video will allow you and your family & friends to see all aspects of your wedding day. These are memories that are PRICELESS. John & his team are so professional. We had Jacquline & Joe who were able to capture all the wedding day moments in a very indiscreet way. The drone footage of the Cape May beachfront was just breathtaking! ! I can’t say enough wonderful things about John & his team. This is absolutely a vendor that you can depend on.

y a phone call away and was willing to take all of the time that was needed. It was our pleasure to also have Chris (videographer) with us the day of the wedding. Chris fit right in with us! We loved how adaptive and creative he was. We also appreciated his time management skills. We are so happy with our choice of Happy Tears and would certainly recommend them!

ning for your wedding. He is always available to answer any questions and has the biggest heart. As the mother of the bride, the wedding video was one of the most important aspects of wedding planning because your wedding video will allow you and your family & friends to see all aspects of your wedding day. These are memories that are PRICELESS. John & his team are so professional. We had Jacqueline & Joe who were able to capture all the wedding day moments in a very indiscreet way. The drone footage of the Cape May beachfront was just breathtaking! ! I can’t say enough wonderful things about John & his team. I might add that my daughter’s wedding occurred right in the middle of COVID 19 (August 2020). John was willing to do whatever we needed as each month changes would occur. John was there and very flexible. This is absolutely a vendor that you can depend on.

John was very understanding and supportive along the way. He demonstrated his flexibility and professionalism throughout the difficult decisions we had to make and relay to him. Leading up to our micro-wedding, John arranged a phone call to confirm details which helped put our minds at ease. He was funny, easy going but thorough in his approach with us. On the day of our wedding, he arrived early and immediately got to work shooting everything he could. The final product- our wedding video- turned out to be the most beautiful thing we’ve ever seen! He listened to all our requests and then some... We were truly impressed. Since then, we’ve gotten numerous compliments from people who we have shared this video with too. We will cherish the video of our micro-wedding forever and are looking forward to working with John again next summer and seeing how that video turns out! Overall, we highly recommend John at Happy Tears Productions for your wedding videography needs!!! You will not be disappointed.

al! Unfortunately COVID killed my wedding dreams & John gave me a full refund ! When we do have the ceremony of our dreams we absolutely will be hiring Happy Tears for all our videography needs !

inning of the page. We thought “wow, this company seems to really understand people.” We decided to give John a call, and boy was I glad we did! John is such a kind man, and really takes into consideration the couples he is providing for. He was so detailed in getting to know about us as a couple and that is something we really appreciated. We had a big wedding planned for June 6th and we were SO excited, but unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 pandemic our wedding had to be rescheduled. At first, we FREAKED OUT trying to reschedule for some time later in the year and we were so stressed and upset, but John was there communicating with us every step of the way. We tried our hardest to keep all our vendors together, but things were not meshing, and we were falling apart at the thought of not having our dream wedding. John was so patient with us while we changed our plans about 20 different times and kept us informed on alternate dates that he had open. He gave us great advice, and recommendations, and was never annoyed at our indecisive-ness. He worked with us every step of the way and it was such a great feeling to have had someone so easy going helping us out in such a stressful time. Finally, we decided to postpone our big wedding to next year, but still get married this year and have a small ceremony. When we told John of our final plans, he completely surprised us and offered to still provide videography for our wedding this year. We were floored at the generosity. John sent our wonderful videographer Jacqueline, who was SO nice and took the time and care to document every aspect of our ceremony! That SAME NIGHT, John sent us the edited copy of our ceremony and made the most beautiful video that we will cherish forever! We cannot wait to work with John and his team next year again, for our big wedding! We know he will provide spectacular work!

must experience. There is no other way to say it. We started looking for someone to video our wedding in late February 2020. When we first talked to Happy Tears, we did not just get a professional, we also made a new friend. My wife and I had been dating twenty years……… (Yes, twenty years) when I FINALLY decided to propose it was worth the wait. We have been planning this wedding for long time and had a great idea of what we wanted to look for. Enter John Rink, the creator of Happy Tears. From the first phone call we had with him, even though it was for business, it did not feel like business. John has a way of making you feel like you are talking to a friend you know instead of being “interviewed” as just a client. John is genuine, upfront, entertaining, insightful, and very professional. We hired him with complete confidence, and we were excited to have him and his company on board. Then COVID hit. We ran through a gauntlet of decision-making and emotions. With everything shut down on our tentative wedding day, we had no clue what we were going to do. A week before, we decided to keep our day and have all the formal celebrations in the future. Happy Tears not only stepped up but blew us away. They were amazing enough to stand in for the original day we wanted WHILE clearing the schedule for our formal day next year. They created one of the most meaningful videos for us to remember, and the experience was effortless. True to form, Happy Tears delivered one of the most incredible experiences we have had, and that was just beginning. They did not just make an amazing video; they became a part of the amazing moments we had that day. We cannot WAIT until next year to have our new friends as a part of our formal celebration. If reading about our experience makes you want to pick up your phone, just wait until you do. You will not be disappointed.

or our ceremony. John and I spoke for over an hour during our first conversation. He shared many amazing stories about himself, his family, and the couples he has worked with. Talking to John felt so natural…like talking to a good friend. At the time, we had not met, but he had become like family to us. Our wedding was originally scheduled for April 19, 2020 and as the date became closer, the COVID-19 pandemic arrived at the same time. After many months of planning for your “perfect day” you can only imagine how emotional it was for us when we were informed that our ceremony could not take place, as the nation was in a state of emergency, including social distancing restrictions, state curfews, and the inability to have our ceremony at the venue. We postponed the date to July 2020 because we assumed, at that time, that the pandemic would not be “that serious” or “that long.” Unfortunately, we were quite wrong. The pandemic IS that serious and it will take a long time for the nation to recover. So, here we were once again, emotional and full of anxiety, that we would need to postpone our date once again. On a personal note, this process has been quite difficult because I don’t have my mother here due to her passing a few years ago. Imagine the amount of tears that I have shed over the past few months because of the constant uncertainty and changes in our lives. Each step of the way, John has been right there. He calls, sends texts, and emails to check on us. He has gone above and beyond with us. I truly believe he would do the same for any other couple that is experiencing this difficult time with the pandemic. Very recently, John did something amazing for my fiancé and I. We will never forget what he has done for us. We wish to publicly thank John for being such an amazing person. We highly recommend him for any momentous occasion. He is extremely professional, enjoys what he does, and he cares. Simply put, he truly cares. We love John! So will you!!! We are looking forward to our ceremony and celebration in 2021, with Happy Tears Productions right there!!!

e one thing they regretted after being married is not having a videographer there to capture every moment. Honestly, we can’t recommend Happy Tears enough if you’re like us and want a videographer for your wedding. From day one John Rink (the owner) was probably more on top of our wedding than even we were, and he would continue to show that level of enthusiasm and professionality throughout the process. He was incredibly helpful with figuring out the best package for us based on our schedule of events. He will not nickel and dime you or suggest packages based on whatever gets him the most money; all his suggestions were very honest and practical. We wanted to have a laid back wedding without all of the usual hustle and bustle of most weddings; and he definitely suggested the best package for us. On the day of the wedding, John was organized, on time, and a much-needed pillar of stability on a hectic day. John moved around the room so effortlessly, we both kept forgetting he was even recording. It was nice that he was not too intrusive and not in the way of any of the events. When we started to go over time, it was John who came to make sure we didn’t miss our cake cutting for the video. Of course, the most important part is the video. We just got our ‘trailer’ to the wedding and it was beautiful. I am a quiet man and was choked up at times during my vows, but you can hear every word clearly. Despite the trailer being a little over 5 minutes, the scenes John was able capture were carefully edited into a perfect synopsis. We can’t wait to see the full video now that we’ve had a sneak peek at what is in store (and I’ve been told a watch party is being organized). Correction: my wife confirmed that she is organizing a watch party with her sisters once this “stay at home order” is lifted. If you are getting married and want to make sure that your day is captured live for you and your partner to enjoy then I cannot recommend Happy Tears enough.

f attending the bridal expo was being able to enter many contests to get discounted vendors or the chance of a paid honeymoon. Being the planner I am, I booked many vendors already at this point but when I saw the booth “Happy Tears Videography” I thought wow- why not enter for a chance to win Videography for my wedding. Being someone who is a romantic and always wished I could play back eight years ago to meeting my fiancé; memories are something I always cherish. In my opinion, videos are a return ticket to a moment otherwise gone. Fast forward to a few weeks later, I got a card in the mail showing I won a voucher for 50% off videography- A STEAL! Upon our first phone call- my fiancé and I grew quickly attached to John and felt comfortable right away- you could tell by my phone log of our conversation being almost two hours long! We didn’t just get to know one another and discuss the idea of what kind of video options we wanted, John gave us advice for all areas of our wedding- tips and tricks that only the pro’s know. He even went the extra mile in helping us get in touch with other vendors and secure them while looking for other services. If there was ever a time I needed John, he was there with open arms and informative advice- even when it came to something that didn’t pertain to him like me needing to vent about how stressed I was- especially about having to get ahold of my non-responsive venue during the COVID-19 pandemic (that no bride of 2020 will ever forget). I was so panicked and in tears daily that my fiancé Joey didn’t even know what to do anymore that he said “Call John, I don’t know how to help you anymore but I know he’ll calm you down.” And John did just that- he offered me realistic alternatives on what to do- even ready to contact other vendors and venues on my behalf to sort things out. Since it looked like things weren’t getting better with COVID-19 we couldn’t get married on the day we planned to which would’ve also been our seven year anniversary together. Right before I had my call with my venue to decide on what my new wedding date would be, I called John and asked him “what dates are you available?” The only thing that mattered to Joey and I was that John was there on our wedding day and long behold after bouncing dates around with my venue- I was in tears… HAPPY tears (no pun intended) that it aligned with John’s date. Long story short if you are even thinking about a videographer for your wedding- it’s John. If you think that it’s an extra expense that you’d pass on because you’re on a budget- don’t pass it up because he has an unique package for everyone- and trust me- aside from the fabulous pricing, you’re going to quickly grow attached to someone who will in a short period of time become a household name. Someone who will become family to you- that if he wasn’t filming your wedding- you’d invite him personally to attend anyways. He is someone who you will be in contact with for the rest of your life because you will find that he will matter to you (if not more) than how much you and your happiness will matter to him. My wedding isn’t for a few more months but I know that everything will be seamless because John Rink is present.

wedding.

ur wedding day. After we got engaged, we were initially on the fence about hiring a videographer but after seeing John’s work, we’re very happy we did. He was great to work with on our wedding day and we were happily surprised with how quickly we received our preview and highlight videos. We certainly recommend John and Happy Tears if you’re considering a videographer for your wedding. -Matt & Michelle Ciociola

expert. On the day of the wedding he made us feel so comfortable, was sure to get the best shots and angles. He also loved our dog who is our baby so that was so important to us and he made sure to get some video of her which we LOVED. Our wedding video is perfect, and we couldn’t be more thankful. Highly recommend John and Happy Tears to everyone!!

tial moments that we were looking forward to (ceremony, first look, cake cutting, ect), but they also captured a number of beautiful moments that caught us completely by surprise. But the biggest surprise was John Rink himself; meeting John and getting to know him has been an absolute pleasure. Before we officially hired him, we spoke to John over the phone to discuss pricing, details, and to become acquainted. This was a great idea because he not only gave us a very clear picture of what to expect from his work, but he also offered plenty of helpful advice which became invaluable. When we discussed pricing, he was very flexible; he gave us several package options to fit our needs which worked out wonderfully. For our wedding, we hired John along with a second shooter and a drone operator, and we are very happy that we did! All three videographers were very professional and unobtrusive. Additionally, we decided to edit our own video to cut costs because I have a background in videography - so after John delivered our footage to us, my wife and I sat down together to watch all of the raw footage... and WOW!! We were SO impressed. As a student of film and videography, I got chills while watching the shots (and learned a thing or two!); I immediately became inspired and excited to edit the video. Our experience with Happy Tears Productions was a fantastic one and we would absolutely recommend John to anyone who is looking for a videographer to shoot their wedding.

together beautifully and I cannot watch it enough. My husband and I definitely recommend Happy Tears as your videographer. Thank you for everything!

ot thank Happy Tears enough for the video they were able to produce under the circumstances. I was certain they were not able to capture enough footage. I was so wrong! John came out in the rain and delivered above and beyond on our video. It was a pleasure to work with him. He was very informative and kept in touch with us through the whole process. He made everything very clear and gave a full understanding throughout the whole entire process. He really does produce “Happy Tears”. I highly recommend happy tears for your wedding day!!

y recommend Happy Tears!

started watching at 5 pm and next thing I knew it was 11!). There was something about his videos that were different than any other wedding videography I had seen, and I realized that he truly manages to capture the personality and the vibe of the bride and groom, as well as their wedding guests through film. I messaged John on the knot and got an immediate response. We set up a phone conference and our personalities clicked wonderfully. I kid you not that this “phone conference” lasted throughout my entire morning, because I had a couple last minute meetings for work and John was so understanding and told me to just call him back after I was done. Not only did we talk about what I wanted the video to capture, he took time to truly get to know me and my now husband Paul. Asking questions about our life together, as well as our life’s separate from one and other. I was thrilled to find out that John also offers discounts to firefighters and EMTs as well as many other professions. He truly realizes that weddings are expensive, but wants to be able to provide footage for you. He works with you to find a reasonable price for an outstanding product. Throughout the months leading up to the wedding, John was always there via text message if I had any questions (and I have a lot). Day of the wedding, his employee Matt was the one who shot the footage, who was phenomenal. He was not intrusive to the day at all, but also got every shot possible. He got along great with myself and my bridesmaids as well, which is a plus. He even took the time to pull me aside before he left at night to let me know he had a great time working with me. I got my video back today from John, and I wasn’t sure what to expect. I had all different ideas in my mind of what footage they could have used to make a 7 minute highlight video encapsulating one of the best days of my life. The video was beyond what I could have imagined. He was able to capture the spirit/ vibe of our wedding day perfectly. Watching the video made me feel as if I was in a time machine traveling back to the best day of my life. Happy tears were shed. I would recommend John and his team to anyone who is looking for not just a videographer, but someone who has compassion for his job and the people he works with like no other. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!!!

ed quickly. We wanted to be able to watch our day and relive it over and over. John Rink and his team made this process so easy for us. We were always kept in the loop and prepared for the next steps... and a bonus was the prices were reasonable on our tight budget! Any accommodations and adjustments we wanted were done without question. Our videographer for the day Jackie, was awesome! She was easy to work with and made you feel extremely comfortable in front of the camera. We received our teaser (2 minute) video within just a few DAYS after the wedding and were in LOVE!!!!! My husband and I are so happy we chose not only a videographer, but Happy Tears Productions specifically for our big day! THANK YOU Happy Tears.

uple and answer any and all questions we may have had. The day of went smooth and majority of the night we didn’t even notice the videographers in the room, but we have video proof they were there! Our video was ready sooner than anticipated and it was perfect! Everyone that has seen the video has even commented at how well the video was put together and captured the perfect moments of the night. I know we will be watching our video over and over again! We love it!

so talented. They captured the day with all the emotion and excitement that filled it. We got numerous compliments. My husband and I absolutely love our video- it is perfect! Thank you for giving us this gift that we can share together with our family and friends for a lifetime.

sent us the highlight video this week and it was phenomenal! Highly recommend John & his team at Happy Tears. - The O’Shea’s

AWESOME highlight reel to share with our family and friends. As my husband put it, “worth every penny” — and he wasn’t keen on getting a videographer in the first place. We can thank John enough for the memories and moments he captured for us!

ns we had. You really can tell how passionate he is about this line of work. John took the time to get to know our relationship style and used that to make our video so unique. You can not go wrong with Happy Tears!! Every time I watch my video it brings tears to my eyes. We will have our special day beautifully captured forever 💕

t the teaser video within a few days and the whole thing within a few weeks of the wedding! The videos turned out amazing! His prices are very reasonable and packages provide a lot of value. We highly recommend Happy Tears!

package that was within our budget and still provides quality work. He stayed in touch with us throughout our planning process and made sure we were comfortable and happy with everything. During filming, he does it in such a way that is not invasive and makes sure he can capture all of the wonderful memories of your day. I highly recommend John and Happy Tears!

be the first to tell them, GET A VIDEOGRAPHER. To have actual video footage to look back on from the best day of our lives is something we will treasure forever. Pictures in motion set to beautiful music..it doesn't get better then that. From the first time we spoke on the phone, to the days and weeks following our wedding, John has been nothing short of amazing. He is thorough, kind, thoughtful and understanding. Most of those qualities are hard to find in anyone nowadays, let alone someone in the wedding business. John was a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend Happy Tears Productions to anyone looking for any type of videography, not just weddings. John was patient and not at all pushy. He let us decide what we wanted as far as packages go, and he let us take our time in choosing. He helped us make other decisions for our wedding too! He is a wonderful person and I can't say enough how much we loved working with him and his team. -Jenna & Frank F.

thout a doubt Happy Tears would be who caught our special day for us to remember forever. We had Tyler film our day. He got some amazing footage, that i never even knew he was around for. We had a smaller venue, so with John's recomendation we only needed one shooter. I was so excited when i got the trailer...i was on the edge of my seat. The longer video was even better. Tyler has a great eye did an amazing job at filming our first dance, spanning from up close to a bit zoomed out...to a pan from our dancing feet to the top of my tiara. He got even the sparkles i put on my dress and the small Mickey heads on my veil. His attention to detail was amazing. Our video was highlights of our special day, and i couldn't have asked for more. Happy Tears did an amazing job at showcasing us, and still making sure they showed the entire bridal party, walking down the aisle or up the aisle. Our trailer of our special day was magical and showed a glimpse into our memories. It is by no means every second of our day, but that would not be a video that i can show friends and family. The only advice I have for any other bride is remember that raw footage is not in order when you get it, and it is still not every minute of your day. Our raw footage is the pieces left over after edits, and uploads. It was wonderful to see the raw and the video that John made from it. John and the whole Happy Tears staff is amazing.

s to relive our wedding for years to come! I’m so glad we chose Happy Tears to capture our special day and would recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding videographer !

is clients so the product you end up with is very personal and tailored to the couple. John and his team did such a fantastic job; I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a high quality product for an affordable price.

equent updates and check-ins from them. I never had to worry with them. Our video is amazing! We will cherish it for a lifetime. Thank you so much Happy Tears!

to and so excited to be a part of my wedding; which made me feel comfortable and confident in his company. In less than a month we were sent our highlight video; from the music, to the videography to the voice over it was blended beautifully and brought tears to our eyes.

l of the different elements he would be capturing for our special day. He was prompt to follow up any time we had questions. On our wedding day, he and his team were present well in advance of our ceremony for set up, and filmed all of the main events and small details occurring throughout the day. We were very entertained and touched by the teaser and highlight videos. And we were very excited to view our ceremony and reception and see all the interactions of our guests and moments we didn’t even know were happening! Both my wife and I are teachers, and we very much appreciate the discount John offers for our profession, and the quality of his work is not reduced for the lower price. We highly recommend Happy Tears as a videography service for anyone’s wedding!

ght out and planned prior to our day. This made the planning very easy for us! John, Tyler & team- we absolutely LOVE our highlight film. Thank you for capturing our day so perfectly and for our beautiful video!!

efore he left. I was originally on the fence about getting a videographer but I am so glad that I did.

ie for getting ready and Tyler during the ceremony/reception. They both did an amazing job getting every moment without us even noticing they were there!

hey punctual, and pleasant to work with, but also meticulous about each and every detail. From planning the overall layout of the big day, to the finished product. A beautiful memory for years to come that I will forever cherish!

ved our video and we do too. We have suggested Happy Tears to everyone we know that is getting married. Thank you guys so much for all your hard work!!!!

s been super responsive and friendly. He’s super knowledgeable and helpful and he works with you, he tries to work with your budget and come up with ways to save you money. He was very thorough in the planning process I had nothing to worry about on my wedding day. I had Nicole come to my house to take pre wedding footage and she was great, super friendly and was able to capture everything without being intrusive. Tyler went to the church to get some footage of my husband and the guys before the ceremony and he was with us the rest of the day. I figured out who he was and said a brief hello and that was it, he was somehow everywhere and nowhere at the same time! He was always in the background to catch every moment but you’d almost forget he was there, he was so quiet and focused on his job and not interrupting any of the special moments he was capturing. I got a digital copy of my highlights about 3 weeks after my wedding and it is absolutely beautiful. Everyone who has seen it loves and it a few said it made them tear up! I highly recommend Happy Tears for your wedding or any videography needs you may have. I had a great experience!

e knew that he was the man we wanted to work with for our wedding. Right from the start he was friendly and warm, yet professional. He put us at ease with the idea of having someone follow us around with cameras for the day. In the months and weeks leading up to the wedding, John was available for any questions or concerns we had. He was also full of excellent wedding related tips. The week before the wedding we collaborated to put a timeline together to allow for the wedding to flow as smoothly as possible. On the day of the wedding, we barely noticed the camera. He flawlessly blended in with our surroundings. In what seemed like no time at all we received notice that our video was completed and ready to be viewed. We loved the final product. John’s attention to detail and passion for filming weddings and events were evident in our video. He listened carefully to likes and dislikes, and incorporated our personalities seamlessly into the video. Lastly, John coordinated with the venue, photographer, and DJ to provide the best possible product. We would not hesitate to recommend John and Happy Tears to our friends and family.

all the local videographers along with their expenses. I found Happy Tears on The Knot. We decided to speak with John about his services. I am so beyond thrilled that we did! From the moment I reached out to John he was very responsive to any and all of my questions/concerns. We had an initial phone conversation about what to expect from him as our videographer. As the wedding was fast approaching I sent frequent emails in regards to what I was looking for our video to include, what extras I wanted, and how I imagined my video to be. We also had a conversation 5 days before the wedding to go over important details of the day and timelines. The day of the wedding everything went perfectly. Both John and his other videographer were successful in capturing every important part of the day without being noticed. Within 24 hours of our wedding we received the most beautiful teaser video that included a very sweet moment I was not there to witness between my grandparents. We received our trailer within about two weeks of our wedding. I have already watched these videos a few times a week since our wedding while crying (happy tears). Our full work was done within a month. John has gone ABOVE AND BEYOND to add in extras for us. He has continued to amaze me with his work. I am awaiting our full feature along with all unedited footage and cannot wait to see what he has put together. If the teaser and trailer are any indication then I already know I will be extremely happy. I am so happy we decided to spend the money so that an amazing team could capture our perfect day for us. Thank you Happy Tears!!!

to his craft. We received a 1 minute clip the day after our wedding and then a 5-7 minute teaser a few weeks after! We are so pleased with our teasers and are looking forward to viewing our final product in just a few short days! =) Thank You John at Happy Tears for your hard work to insure our day was fabulous and our memories are endless!

y recorded, my mother recommended John and Happy Tears. My mother had met John years ago, but he had clearly left an everlasting impression, as she could not speak more highly of his professionalism, personality and love for what he does. I spoke with John on the phone a few months before our wedding day to go over all of the logistics. He was so thorough and organized with the timeline of events and accommodating to all of our requests. About a week before the wedding he followed up with a phone call to go over our plan again and just to make sure I was doing okay. I appreciated this the most as many brides know the weeks leading up to your wedding day are the most stressful. He arrived right on time the day of and was nice enough to capture some footage of the water and boats in the area even before he came to our venue. John did a great job capturing all our fun moments that day leading up to our ceremony – us girls singing and dancing, my husband and his friends enjoying a drink, my first look with my father, and most importantly the moment my husband and I both read our letters to each other privately. The day was magical from beginning to end and John was right there with us capturing every moment. Half the time you wouldn't have even known he was filming! The day after our wedding, we woke up to a text from John with a link to our wedding teaser video. We were shocked, and so happy to be able to relive the night all over again. About a month later I received a call from John letting me know that our video was finished and he went through the options of how we could watch it, as well as thanked me for giving him the opportunity to work with our family. We can’t thank YOU, John, enough for making our day so incredibly special and giving up the ability to watch (and re-watch) the best day of our lives over and over again. If anyone is unsure about spending the extra money for a videographer – I promise you it was the best decision we made, and even better that we had the honor to work with John and Happy Tears! I would recommend John and Happy Tears to anyone.

g he can to ensure you're pleased with his service. We loved his work and I'm sure you are too. We were beyond overwhelmed by the final product as was our family. We wanted MORE! I absolutely recommend Happy Tears for your wedding.
