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.
My husband and I were going back-and-forth on whether or are 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 having discounts and is therefore very affordable, which proves that he 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 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
John and his team were AMAZING and easy to work with! He truly cares about his clients and takes the time to get to know you. Each interaction was thoughtful and kind. The videos were absolutely stunning and magical. We are grateful that we will forever be able to look back on these memories. Picking Happy Tears as our videographer was one of the best decisions that we made during our wedding journey!
At first we were on the fence about if we should have a videographer on our wedding day, but we did, and it was the BEST decision we made! Happy Tears Production truly went above and beyond to make sure every meaningful moment was captured! They were not only professional, but also made us feel completely at ease, which allowed them to capture all the candid and emotional moments of our special day that we will cherish forever. Their ability to blend into the background, yet catch the most intimate and joyful moments was unbelievable. The final video was nothing short of astonishing…it brought us right back to the emotions of the day (they are called Happy Tears for a reasonJ). Their creative vision and attention to detail made the video truly unique and perfectly captured our love story. If you’re looking for a videographer to bring your wedding day to life we wholeheartedly recommend Happy Tears Production! We’ll treasure this video for years to come!
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.
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.
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!
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!
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.
We used Happy Tears for our wedding and I couldn’t have been happier! John was so friendly and was great at communicating everything. He was so helpful and detailed that it really put my mind at ease that we would get exactly what we want the day of our wedding. Rose was our videographer the day of and she was so nice and professional and really did amazing at capturing the day and making us feel comfortable. We got our video back pretty quickly and it was better than we could have imagined!
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!
Jim was great to have on the day of our wedding he was just so easy and eager to pump us all up ! John did an Amazing amazing job on our video! It was so great to re live that day! We both were laughing and tearing just a mix of emotions thank you so Much happy tears! We freaking love it! <3 Mr.&Mrs. Guerrero
Palitchka Wedding was held on April 26, 2024, and Happy Tears was just amazing to work with!!!
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!
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.
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.
