My husband and I just recently married on September 24th, at the Bradford Estate, and we chose Happy Tears for our wedding day videography services. John and his staff were very professional throughout the ENTIRE process. I absolutely loved working with him. Before knowing anything about video, I came across Happy Tears scrolling through videographer on theknot.com just to get an idea of what could fit into our budget. Coincidentally, me husband and I ended up hearing from John, being that we won a package from a bridal show hosted at Cherry Hill Mall. At first, we thought video wasn't going to be important, as we were on a tight budget, but once we heard and spoke with John we knew it was something we would want to take part in. John was very easy going, and enthusiastic since day one. From our first initial meeting, he went through everything, and I mean everything with us, and he even had us check out his video services from previous weddings to assure that we were happy with his work. To be honest, he was not one of those who only cared about money, and he even made suggestions to adjust to our budget. You could tell he cared about providing a great service. On the day of our wedding, we worked with one of his amazing videographers, and she was great, very professional. She arrived earlier than expected, and got right to work. She was extremely polite, her personality was amazing, and she was very upbeat and into everything. SHE MISSED NOTHING! Marcus and I were very impressed

Videography was not on the top of our list but so happy that we decided to go with Happy Tears! From the beginning of the process Happy Tears was amazing. From working within our budget to asking one of their staff to work last minute on a holiday weekend so we could have two videographers, the service was outstanding. John looks out for his clients and makes sure you get the absolute best service possible. We couldn’t be more happy with our choice and would recommend them to anyone.

My wife and I were just recently married in May, and we chose to use Happy Tears for our videography services. We made our choice based on two things, affordability and quality. After combing through a bunch of websites, I came across Happy Tears and was immediately impressed with what I saw. Coincidentally, my wife and I ended up meeting John at a bridal show before we could even contact him. From the very beginning John was very enthusiastic and you could tell he genuinely took pride in his work. Leading up to our wedding, John was very easy to contact, and he answered every question we could think of. He made suggestions based on our budget, and never attempted to upsell us or take advantage. On our wedding day, he was great. He was very professional and footage that he got was amazing. The quality of his cameras is top notch and I can honestly say I’m impressed. I would recommend Happy Tears to anyone.

Even before the wedding, we were very glad to have gone with Happy Tears for our big day. We spoke several times over the phone John, so he could gather as many details he possibly could to help suggest the best package for us, along with laying out the wedding day filming plans. On the day of the wedding, we barely noticed the two videographers, which allowed us to be as comfortable as possible while we were getting ready. After only a couple of weeks, we were surprised to receive a call from John letting us know our videos were complete. Happy Tears provided us three videos; a 10 min full day trailer and two longer videos of the entire ceremony and the reception. The raw footage was also included!! Within the first minute of the first video we watched, we absolutely knew we made the right choice, not that we had any doubts beforehand. If you’re getting married soon, make sure you at least contact John at Happy Tears…you won’t be disappointed.

There are not enough words to describe how happy my husband and I are with Happy Tears. From the very beginning, John listened to what our wishes for our wedding day were and helped to provide us with the best package to suit our needs and, more importantly, our budget. We spoke with him at length multiple times to make sure everything was perfect. When we weren’t talking on the phone, John was sure to keep us in the loop via text and email. On our wedding day, both John and his fellow videographer, Jackie, were on time to both locations. They were never “in the way” and allowed the two of us to go through our respective getting ready routines without it ever feeking awkward or staged. John listened to what we had wished to have in terms of footage from our ceremony and reception and he DEFINITELY delivered. We received our highlights videos so much quicker than we had ever anticipated and everything was PERFECT. We not only have the 3 highlights videos to look back and remember that day, but we are also receiving the raw, uncut footage of our wedding day from beginning to end. Working with John made us realize just how right we were in choosing Happy Tears to capture the best day of our lives.

Last night, my husband and I were feeling nostalgic about our wedding and we were so happy to be able to have the amazing footage from John/Happy Tears to remember details of our wedding day. Everything goes by so quickly and just having this footage to remember our wedding by is absolutely amazing. John is very thorough and was always easy to work with and made the whole process smooth and was always flexible to our requests and concerns! When dealing with the stressful time of wedding planning and budgeting, many couples choose to forgo a videographer to save the cost, but it is absolutely worth every penny to have the memories of your wedding day on video. Thanks again John! We love our wedding video!! I can't even tell you how many times I have watched it :)

You will not be disappointed by choosing Happy Tears Productions for your videographer!

My husband and I weren't sure if we were going to get a videographer for our wedding, but after speaking with John, he convinced me. My husband was still skeptical about the whole idea but we moved forward with it anyway. Now, after watching the video, we are both so happy that we made the decision to go with John and his crew at Happy Tears. The 7 min short video is a perfect depiction of how that day went. John and his crew were extremely professional and are the best at what they do. I would highly recommend Happy Tears to anyone planning a wedding or special event!

I first spoke with John Rink in February 2014 when I was planning my proposal to my then girlfriend, Heidi Costello. I knew I wanted to make it something special and memorable. John was so professional and genuinely excited to be part of my plans. He gave me suggestions to make my plans work better and was available to listen to any questions or concerns I had. On September 4, 2014, I proposed to Heidi on the beach in Wildwood Crest, NJ. Everything went perfectly and was all caught on film. John went above and beyond to make sure that was a day we would never forget. And because of that, Heidi and I knew we wanted John and his business partners to be a part of our wedding. We were thrilled to use Happy Tears for our wedding. Heidi and I wed on September 24, 2016 and everything was amazing. John again caught so many happy memories for us, and we know we will continue to watch our videos over and over again. We would absolutely recommend John Rink and Happy Tears to anyone looking to make their special day perfect. He has become a good friend of ours and we are beyond happy with his expertise.

I was the lucky winner from a bridal expo! I wasn't planning on having a video but am so happy I do! John recorded my bridal shower and entire wedding day. I even had 2 videographers on my wedding day so they didn't miss a thing! The videos are amazing! John captured every important moment and was very attentive before the wedding to make sure he got all the details just right. So happy with the final product and would highly recommend to anyone! Thank you John!
