"We stumbled upon Happy Tears production…"

We stumbled upon Happy Tears production while looking for videographers for our wedding in January. We immediately got in touch with John Rink, the owner of the company, and from the first meeting we knew we were in good hands. Not only appreciative of the discounts he gave my now husband and I due to our occupations he also was extremely thorough and diligent throughout the entire process. He comforted and reassured me when things were confusing & overwhelming. He and his crew went above and beyond to obtain amazing video coverage of our special day. John allowed us to choose our own instrumental music as well as our music for the full length video too. Happy Tears also provided us with recommendations of photographers they have worked with in the past too which helped us choose our photographers as well. As you could imagine our photographs are amazing too! We are beyond happy and grateful for our highlight reel and full length version videos that we will now have as keepsakes for the rest of our lives - we shed ‘happy tears’ the whole way through! Definitely worth considering adding them to your big day as they will create memories no one else will be able to give you!

"The best videography company ever!"

What first attracted me to Happy Tears was seeing how they honor our first responders, military, and teachers. As a teacher, I was so taken back by this because it is very rare to find a vendor in the wedding industry that is willing to acknowledge our hard work and make this process even smoother for us. When my husband and I first spoke to John on the phone, we knew that we were sold. John is so unbelievably passionate about his work and also his clients. He did not spare one detail or piece of information when talking with us. He took so much pride in us as potential customers and it meant so much to us. Leading up to our wedding, we asked to make a few adjustments to some things we wanted in our video and John was SO accommodating to everything we asked for. Working with John felt like working with a friend and we loved every second of it.
The day of our wedding, Jim was our videographer. All I can say is WOW! Jim was not only an amazing videographer, he was the life of the party! He was so kind, funny, and easy to work with. He had everyone laughing and smiling and truly having the best time. This made for one hell of a video! Jim was such a fun person to be around that we asked him if he could stay after he was done and enjoy the rest of the wedding with us! Once again, it seemed like we were with a friend. And now that we have our video back, we have not stopped crying HAPPY TEARS because of how wonderful all of the shots are and also the editing. We cannot recommend Happy Tears enough. From start to finish, they have been INCREDIBLE to work with. Thank you so much John and Jim for making our wedding the best day of our lives!

"wedding"

When my husband, Robert, and I first spoke to John on the phone, it was as if we were friends for years. He was kind, funny and extremely knowledgeable. You can tell he is very passionate about his job. John kept us in the loop, and always sent us updated emails when things were due. He also always answered any and all questions we had about any little thing. He even gave us recommendations for other vendors that he has worked with.
From the beginning, Rob and I thought John was going to be the one who was filming our wedding. About a week or two before, he let us know it would be Jim and Belle. Rob and I were fine with this, since we trusted John to steer us in the right direction. John told me that Belle was somewhat new to Happy Tears, but was such a sweetheart. And the way he described Jim, “Mr. Personality”.
Let us tell you, John was NOT wrong!!! Belle was so sweet, made us feel extremely comfortable the whole day. You would never know she was newer to the game/team.
As far as Jim. WOW!! He danced all night with us. Even at one point during the night, a song played that Jim likes. Jim said to Robert “I’m not filming this, I’m rocking out with you guys instead!” Jim was so much fun, and fit right in. He came over to me at the end of the night and said, “Kelli, you were right, these people know how to party!”
Jim kept everyone engaged, kept our guests going crazy on the dance floor, and knew exactly what he was doing. John was right to call him “Mr. Personality”, because he was 100% that!!
We couldn’t recommend Happy Tears enough!!! Even sweeter surprise was our wedding video was ready on our 1-month wedding anniversary! There were many happy tears shed while watching our video. We relived our best day yet, all over again!
Thank you to John, Jim & Belle for being some of the most important people at our wedding! You have made our wedding day amazing!!!

"The Perfect Videographer"

John is absolutely amazing to work with! John & his team are very professional and very personable. They made everything for my wedding very easy and John was in contact with me every step of the way. His co-worker Rose was absolutely perfect!! She was with me the morning of the wedding and she was such a pleasure to work with! Rose made sure everything was perfect and took a lot of the stress away that morning. She knew exactly what I wanted and what I was thinking before I even knew what I wanted or what I was even thinking. John's other co-worker, Jeff worked with my husband the morning of, and my husband felt so comfortable with Jeff and he made everything very easy for the guys that morning. They both captured moments in the wedding that I didn't even know happened! John is beyond a pleasure to work with and he answered all of my questions and concerns with ease. The communication with John was fantastic! He was in constant contact with me from the moment I booked him until the moment the wedding was over! Even with my wedding being over, he still reaches out about the video footage. The video footage is amazing! The production is perfect and left my husband & I completely speechless!! Perfect does not even begin to describe Happy Tears Productions and that team!! I would highly recommend using them for anything & everything!!

"Amazing!"

John Rink is the owner and editor of Happy Tears Productions and he was the greatest to work with! He is very flexible with his packages and pricing that made everything so easy and stress free. His two videographers that we had the pleasure of working with were Jim and Chris, they did just as an amazing job! Our footage, sound and final videos are the best quality and really are memories that will last a lifetime. Do not hesitate to book with Happy Tears Productions you will love it!

"So happy that we went forward with Happy Tears"

So happy that we went forward with working with John 5+ years ago!!! We had won a percentage off a package with him at a wedding expo years ago and he was super understanding that my now husband and I were not anywhere close to getting married! I still had grad school ahead of me so he told us to reach out to him when we were ready! Well, multiple years later he honored our original deal without hesitation! He is wonderful and cares about the details of not just the wedding but the story of his clients. The entire process was stress-free and communication with him was very easy. We received our sneak peek video very quickly and the final video was completed earlier than expected. I had no idea how much our wedding video would impact me as I was balling by the end. I was able to view parts of my wedding that I was not able to or was too busy to see that day. I would highly recommend working with John. We were very happy with his services and look forward to working with him again in the future! Thanks so much, John!

"Happy tears productions was such a…"

Happy tears productions was such a pleasure to work with! John is so responsive and kind. We had Rose on our wedding day filming and she was so nice! We got our footage back so quickly. When I had a question, John was quick to respond and solve the problem! We loved working with Happy tears productions and would highly recommend!

"Highly recommend!"

We recently got married on 8.20.22 and hired Happy Tears for raw footage starting with our ceremony through the reception. I cannot speak highly of them enough! John was extremely attentive and responsive to any of our needs. Jim was our videographer for the day and our guests LOVED him. He even made the dance floor fun! We received so many compliments from our guests regarding Jim’s lively and fun personality. We received our raw footage within 2 days of our wedding and watched it right after our honeymoon. It was everything and more! I highly recommend Happy Tears- you won’t be disappointed!

"Happy Tears Video Experience"

I am so happy I went with this videographer!! The moments captured on camera were perfect and the video put together with the music was amazing! Rose provided the video and captured all the perfect moments of my wedding! She did an awesome job! John responded promptly to all of my questions, and he definitely listened to my requests of special moments that I was hoping to be captured. I will definitely recommend this videographer to anyone getting married or wanting a special moment captured on video!

"I am extreme happy I went with happy…"

I am extreme happy I went with happy tears for my wedding video! Chris was extremely professional and you can tell he truly enjoys what he does. John was thorough, listened to what we wanted, and was very easy to talk to. Our video was finished in less than 2 weeks after our wedding and was absolutely beautiful! I would highly recommend happy tears to anyone interested!
