- 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!

Let me start by just saying, WOW. If you are searching for your wedding/ special moments/ videographer STOP LOOKING NOW. There are a million great things I could say about John Rin...
k (the creator of Happy Tears) but i’ll settle with telling you the reasons I chose Happy Tears, without hesitation. Happy Tears caught my eye on instagram one day and I now thank God that we found each other. They offer amazing discounts for police offers and military personnel which is originally what caught my eye. Being a military wife that was exactly what sold me. Fortunately the good vibes did not stop there. After a phone call with John I felt 100% confident in my decision. He has been in this business for around 30 years BY CHOICE. He’s an older gentleman and he reminded me of my dad… and who can you trust more than your dad?! No one! Five minutes into our initial phone call I felt we knew each other for years. I’m not sure what you look for when booking a wedding vendor, but I can tell you exactly what I was looking for. A friend, someone who was willing to listen to my concerns, to help walk me through this process, someone to capture my dreams so I can cherish them forever. We got along great which was exactly what I needed. Plus that incredible discount, I guarantee you won’t find that elsewhere. On top of that, he offered a payment plan that helped take more stress away. John has a team of very talented videographers and I had the pleasure of meeting and working with Belle. She was an angel, because at our initial meeting I was the devil (it was raining and I did not plan for rain at my beach ceremony, I texted out the wrong new address so I had to send another text to 185 people, I was nasty, stressed and panicked) She walked in with a gorgeous smile on her face, could see how upset I was and just kept smiling. I promise i’m not the devil I just needed some good vibes and she brought them! She was a gem to work with, and so so stealthy! I honestly didn’t see her after I met her but she I know she saw me. Her talent is extremely evident. Some of my favorite moments from our day I am able to rewatch and relive because she went above and beyond! And now i’d like to talk about why John calls it Happy Tears. Just shy of 3 weeks after my wedding ( which is INSANELY FAST) I received my documentary style video. It is 38 minutes long and an absolute dream come true! In all honesty i’ve watched it at least 25 times. My documentary has it all, from first looks, laughs, tears, hugs, speeches, dancing and our bubbly exit. The amount of actual happy tears that roll down my face when I watch it is a number I lost count of! I can’t even express how grateful I am to John and his team for going above and beyond to capture my perfect day, perfectly. On top of that I’d like to reiterate that John is not only very timely, he makes a wonderful timeline, will accommodate all your concerns, he is outstanding with communication. Please from one bride to another this is the vendor you NEED to book!

ographer, was the perfect addition to our wedding day and blended in seamlessly with our guests. She captured everything beautifully and stayed in constant communication, remaining flexible when I wanted to change things in the middle of our night. She was professional, attentive, and made the entire experience stress-free. I couldn't have asked for a better videographer to document our special day. The couldn’t be a more fitting name for a company. I have such happy tears when I watch our video back.

Happy Tears
We hired Happy Tears to be our Videographer .
Truthfully I really don't remember seeing them at the wedding . Its like they just blended in to the crowd.
Looking at ...
the video they were definitely there and everywhere . How they were able to catch so many candid shots
I will never know . The video just blew us away . From the overhead drone footage of the venue to capturing all
of our guests having the time of their life. They stitched the entire event seamlessly . We love the way the video came out so much .
We decided to put the video on our main TV as a loop when the TV is idle . We have so many great comments on the video but the guests that were
actually at the wedding are the ones who were wowed the most . They all want to know who the videographer is.
Happy Tears didn't miss a thing . So happy we hired them . Thank you John & Jeff your professionalism and talent are 1st class all the way.

We used Happy Tears Productions for our wedding this past November, and I truly cannot say enough good things about them. We received two different style videos, and both are absol...
utely incredible. We constantly get compliments on how amazing they are, and they perfectly captured the emotion, fun, love, and magic of our day.
From the very beginning, the owner John was so kind, professional, and easy to work with. We met with him early on, explained our vision, and he gave us such thoughtful and creative ideas that made everything even better than we imagined. He stayed in touch with us throughout the entire planning process, which made us feel so confident and taken care of leading up to the wedding. John even recommended our photographer, who was also amazing!
On the wedding day itself, our videographer Robert was absolutely amazing. He was professional, friendly, and fit in so seamlessly that everyone at our wedding loved him. My guests were literally saying they didn’t want him to leave! He made us feel comfortable and captured everything so naturally.
If my husband and I could go back and relive our wedding day, we honestly would do it just to work with John and Rob again. I couldn’t recommend Happy Tears Productions enough. They gave us memories we’ll cherish forever, and we are beyond grateful.

The delivery of the highlight reel and extended documentary videos were extremely quick. The quality of the videos were exceptional, and it really helped us relive our wedding day all over again. We were so happy with our video and cannot wait to continue to watch it for years to come!
I also want to give a special shoutout to Rose. Not only did Rose video our entire wedding day (which was almost a 12 hour day) but she also assisted in bustling my wedding dress, which was a huge help.
From the bottom of our hearts, we highly recommend Happy Tears Productions for your wedding videography!!

It's hard to pinpoint just one moment, as a favorite...but one that sticks in my mind is when you and your girls were singing so loud, in the trolley, when it pulled up to the church, passers-by were staring...and THAT WAS SO GREAT!!!!!!! It was definitely a day to go down in history!!! :)))))))

We had the best experience working with John from HappyTears Productions! From the moment we booked with him, John was so kind, responsive, and genuinely invested in making our day...
perfect. In the months leading up to the wedding, John hopped on a few calls with us to share helpful tips and advice that really made a difference when it came to capturing great video moments.
On the wedding day, Jim and Belle were absolutely amazing. They were so easy to be around and made everyone feel comfortable. So many of our guests even commented on how seamlessly they blended in throughout the day and night, you’d hardly notice they were filming, yet they captured everything beautifully.
John edited and delivered both our highlight film and full documentary-style video so quickly, and they turned out incredible! His team perfectly captured all the emotions and little moments that made our day so special. We’ve already watched them multiple times and can’t stop smiling every time we do. We couldn’t recommend them more highly!
Response from HAPPY TEARS PRODUCTIONS on 11/23/2025
Hey Ryan! Thanks a million, for your kind words! You and Marissa are such a great couple...
! Seriously! You guys ROCK!!! Jim and I were talking about your wedding, from the moment he got in his car to drive home, after filming your big day! And the same goes for the post-wedding conversation I had with Belle, the following day! You and Marissa made an impression on all of us!!! I hope you stay in touch with us, because I consider you our friends!!!

You’re probably reading this because you’re looking to hire Happy Tears Productions to capture every moment of your special day — and I can tell you without hesitation, you’ve foun...
d the right team. From the very beginning, John was everything you could hope for in a wedding videographer: kind, easygoing, and incredibly approachable. There was never a moment where we felt like “just another client.” Instead, John made us feel like friends he truly wanted to create something special for.
What really stood out to us was how transparent and communicative he was throughout the entire process. From our first consultation to the final delivery, John kept us updated every step of the way. We always knew where things stood, what to expect, and when to expect it — which made the entire experience completely stress-free.
John’s passion for his craft shines through in every interaction and every frame of film he produces. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does, and that passion translates into breathtaking results. He has a rare ability to capture not just the visuals, but the feeling of the day — the laughter, the tears, and all the in-between moments you never want to forget.
He also did something that’s hard to come by these days: he under promised and over delivered. The final video blew us away. It exceeded anything we could have imagined and brought us right back to the emotions of our wedding day. Every cut, every transition, every song choice felt intentional and deeply personal.
Somewhere along the way, John stopped feeling like a vendor and truly became a friend — someone who cared as much about our story as we did. That kind of connection is rare, and it’s exactly what makes his work so authentic.
If you’re searching for someone to capture your wedding day in a way that feels real, timeless, and full of heart, look no further. We would recommend John and his team at Happy Tears Productions to anyone without hesitation. They’re not just documenting moments — they’re preserving memories you’ll cherish for a lifetime.

I’m so happy that you and John have quickly become our friends, Brooke! You guys are some real down to earth people, and THAT’S THE BEST KIND!!! :)))))))

Thank you so much for being such a joy to work with and for going above and beyond to make our wedding unforgettable. Please don’t hesitate to book them — you will not regret it!

We knew right away that Happy Tears was the perfect videography team for us after seeing how they worked at a friend’s wedding. Their energy, professionalism, and ability to captur...
e every special moment stood out immediately, and choosing them for our big day was one of the best decisions we made.
From the very beginning, John was absolutely incredible throughout the planning process. He was so patient with me, especially with how meticulous I was about my wedding timeline and he never once made me feel like I was asking too much. His communication was always prompt, reassuring, and filled with enthusiasm. From the moment we started working together, John’s positivity and confidence made me feel at ease, and I knew everything would be perfect in his hands.
On the day of our wedding, we had the pleasure of working with Jim, and he truly went above and beyond our expectations. Jim was not only professional and talented, but also a total joy to be around. He had this amazing ability to keep the energy up while keeping everyone calm and comfortable in front of the camera. When I started to feel nervous, he knew exactly how to calm me down; when the dance floor needed a little boost, he was right there hyping everyone up and finding fun ways to get guests involved.
My guests are still talking about how fantastic Jim was… his energy was contagious and he genuinely became part of the celebration. It’s rare to find someone who can balance fun, professionalism, and creativity so seamlessly, but Jim did it effortlessly.
We are beyond grateful for the Happy Tears team and cannot wait to see our final footage. If you’re looking for a videographer who brings energy, passion, and heart to every moment… look no further than Happy Tears. 10/30/2025… UPDATE to my initial review!! :)
We received our wedding video tonight and WOW… we are absolutely speechless! The way John incorporated my Abuelo serenading me in the background was the ultimate gift. It brought tears to our eyes. The quality of the video is phenomenal, and you can truly see how much fun everyone had that day.
I cannot thank John and Jim enough! I am forever grateful for the beautiful video they created. It’s something I’ll cherish for the rest of my life. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
And can we talk about the turnaround time?! What John put together for us in less than a month would’ve taken me months! If you come across Happy Tears, do not hesitate, they will not disappoint you!

Please give this company business they are truly dedicated in capturing every detail and they LISTEN to every request! Jim even told my audience to put their phones away during our unplugged ceremony which shows they truly care about the grooms/brides wishes regardless of what people think! We love you Happy Tears!!!

Our video has such good quality and is just stunning. We also got it back only a week after our wedding, which we thought was pretty incredible. We absolutely recommend Happy Tears Productions to anyone that is looking for a videographer, and if you're undecided if you want to have a videographer for your wedding, do it. It is 100% worth it.

Not only did John Rink create an incredible video, but our videographer Jim ended up being one of the best additions to our wedding day. Jim didn’t just take incredible footage both with his camera and his drone, he also became our personal hype man and rallied our bridal party and guests, creating an unforgettable experience. I can guarantee if you decide to go with Happy Tears you will not regret your decision. I am so grateful I allowed myself to be convinced by my wife to hire the videography team at Happy Tears. I truly can’t imagine how this day would have gone without them, and will be recommending them to all of my friends and family.

John and his team! First of all if you or your spouse are military or police as my husband is, he takes amazing care of you and highly respects all you do! Second John is truly just the nicest guy and so easy to work with. We started having every day conversations just to talk! And that just working with him, the highlight video he made for us captured our day in the most perfect way. It was the perfect mix of the ceremony and making you feel emotional, but then funny and having you laugh, but then fun and making you want to relive it all again and again! If you’re questioning getting a videographer I HIGHLY recommend you do and that you use happy tears!

When I first brought up the idea of having a videographer for our wedding, my fiancé was not convinced. We're a young couple trying to save wherever we can! Still, I decided to boo...
k a phone call with John, just to get an idea of what to expect. From that first conversation, we knew we had to book with him! John was incredibly understanding, never pushy, and answered all of our questions. He’s truly one of the nicest people we’ve ever met!
We were also blown away by the turnaround time for our wedding video. Our wedding was on July 3rd, 2025, and we already had the video by July 15th!
Now on to Jim, our amazing videographer!!! He was absolutely the best person to have by our side on such a special day. He made us feel so comfortable, gave us tons of compliments :), and brought such a fun, positive energy to both us and our guests. I honestly believe he’s a big reason why everyone had such a great time!
The video itself completely surpassed our expectations. We’ve already watched it more times than we can count! If you’re unsure about hiring a videographer, DO IT!!! Just make sure you book with Happy Tears!!! You will not regret it!!!

But for now; just keep rockin the newlywed life, and may God bless your life-long marriage!!!!!!!

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.

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.

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.

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!

mmunicate 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.

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.

azing. 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.

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.

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!

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, preservin...
g 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 hand...
s 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 shoot...
ers, 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.

Hey Amanda! Thank you so much for your review! And a very special thank you, for mention...
ing your videographers for your big day! Jim and Belle are awesome together! They really roll out the red carpet! I'm blessed to have them on our team!!! 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!!!

py. 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.
