We had an amazing experience with Happy Tears Productions! From the very beginning, John was fantastic to work with. He was professional, responsive, and made the entire process easy. We also love that they work so closely with first responders, which made us feel even more connected to their team. On our wedding day, Jeff and Rose were absolutely phenomenal. They were friendly, professional, and captured every special moment while blending seamlessly into the day. They made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and worked so well with our photographer and other vendors. We haven’t received our wedding video yet, but based on the incredible experience we’ve had so far, we have complete confidence that it’s going to be something we’ll treasure forever. We highly recommend Happy Tears Productions to any couple looking for a talented and caring videography team!
Belle (specifically) 10/10 The owner John Rink is incredibly easy to work with and has the exact same mindset as me, which made planning the details even smoother. Belle, our videographer, 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. Tom & Candace McNamee
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 absolutely 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.
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!
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 capture 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. After receiving 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!
I want to express that Happy Tears Videography was professional all around. They were truly committed to making our day feel special. John who we had the most contact with was so pleasant to work with and he made us feel so excited and less stressed along the way! Our actual videographer Jim was phenomenal!! He was so engaged with the audience that it felt like he was a family friend. I have a friend who is now using their services because of the beautiful impression they left all of us. Jim captured the best moments and our video is truly exceptional. We will forever be grateful for Happy Tears and all their efforts in making sure we remember these moments forever! 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!!! May God (and this review ;) ) continue to bless your business ABUNDANTLY!
My husband and I are so happy with how our wedding video from Happy Tears turned out and that we will have it to look back on for years to come. John was amazing from the beginning. He is kind and caring, and really takes the time to get to know his clients and help them in anyway he can. Our videographer, Jeff, was also amazing. 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.
We would highly recommend Happy Tears Productions to anyone looking for a wedding videographer! John was always extremely professional in every regard as well as his staff who captured our wedding day. John made it easy when choosing things such as packages and worked with our price point! He is kind, funny and passionate about his work and it shows. The quality of our videos speak for themselves and they are beautiful keepsakes. Videos were also received promptly after our wedding day. His team is skilled in what they do and came prepared to make sure that our day ran smoothly. John edited our footage to be seamless while highlighting the emotional and happiest moments to make you want to literally shed a tear every single time. We are forever grateful to John and his team at Happy Tears for recording every laugh, smile and happy tear on our wedding day.
I want to start this review by saying I was wrong. When my (now wife) and I discussed having a videographer at first I said we probably don’t need that. Are we actually going to watch the videos? Won’t this just be a waste of money? Well I was very very wrong. 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.
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 book 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!!!
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. - Nick & Averi, 6/12/25

Happy Tears truly produced "Happy Tears" when watching our wedding video
Happy Tears was absolutely wonderful from start to finish of the entire wedding process! As a couple who were very unsure if video coverage was necessary for our special day, we could not be happier or more satisfied with what the team produced and delivered to us in remembering every special moment of the day. The professionalism and communication from the Happy Tears business was 10/10. We enjoyed speaking with John on a regular basis so he could really understand what we were looking for in our wedding coverage. 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! We would highly recommend Happy Tears to anyone looking for great video coverage at a very reasonable price!

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!
