There are not enough words to describe how happy we are with John and his team! They were a dream to work with, and captured our day in the best way possible. John is very thorough and genuinely cares about his clients! The videos he shared with us are so special and beautifully done. I just wish I had another event for him to film! I would recommend him to anyone. Do not wait to book him! You will not be disappointed.

John and Happy Tears was such a pleasure to work with throughout our entire wedding planning process. Happy Tears was recommended by our venue, The Madison. John was very responsive and helpful each time we spoke leading up to our big day. We even added on to our package 5 days before our wedding and John was able to easily accommodate our request. We are so happy with the final footage of our special day and so thankful we used Happy Tears for our wedding!

John and his team delivered so much more than I anticipated! We were supposed to have 2 videographers the whole day, but there was an emergency shortly before our first look where the second videographer had to leave. That was no sweat for our main videographer! He was able to get awesome shots during our first look and the rest of the day. Our video teaser was absolutely perfect without Happy Tears even knowing how fitting the song and effect were prior to. Once we got our full video, we were even more in awe with the quality! We cannot thank Happy Tears enough! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

Thank you, Laura, for such an amazing review! I knew, from day one...and throughout all the planning, that your day was going to be nothing less than the fairytale you wanted! We, at Happy Tears, were all delighted to have a huge part in it!

Videographer Review
When we first started wedding planning, we were on the fence about hiring a videographer. However, after speaking with John at Happy Tears and viewing his work, we quickly made up our minds. Using Happy Tears to capture our wedding day on video was the best decision we made! From the start, John made us feel comfortable and was very personable, professional, and attentive. Prior to the wedding day, we had several conversations and discussed the details of the wedding and what we wanted. He really got to know us, and we thoroughly enjoyed working with John! John and Chris captured so many details of the wedding day that I missed as the bride, and it was wonderful to be able to watch it all on the video! We also had both forgotten about some of the details since the day goes by so fast, so that was amazing to be able to relive our wedding day when we watch the video! John recorded our voices reading the letters my husband and I wrote to each other the day of the wedding, and it was such a perfect touch! He also had great ideas for the first look at the venue. The video not only brought tears to our eyes, but our friends, family, and even coworkers cried when they saw it! Happy tears, of course Our wedding teaser video was ready immediately, and our video was ready within two weeks of the wedding! I couldn’t be happier with the video and choosing Happy Tears and working with John and his team was the best decision we made! I can’t say enough wonderful things them, and I would highly recommend Happy Tears to anyone planning a wedding! Thank you again for the amazing video and capturing our day so perfectly!

The time I had, with you and your girls, at the beginning of the day, was such a great foundation for what was to be the perfect wedding!!!!!!!!! I'm looking forward to the 10-year anniversary party!!! ;-)

Nothing but good things to say about John and his company. We hired Happy Tears for our September wedding and his cinematographers, Chris and Jim, were outstanding. They were everywhere we looked all night long without being intrusive. They were so encouraging and made my nerves go away with their helpful suggestions and calming demeanors. They also got some OUSTANDING footage of the dance floor and first looks. 100% would use Happy Tears again.

Phenomenal
We had both Chris and John at on wedding on July 31st, 2021, at Bradford Estates, and I cannot begin to rave about how well they did and how comfortable they made everyone. John was so helpful from the second we booked him back in 2019 and with every single postponement (3 different ones). He was responsive and very thorough. Our video was given to us within a month time (earlier than a month), and we love it. The quality is great, and it really captured all our exciting moments from the day. I cannot recommend John and Happy Tears enough. I am so glad we decided to have a videographer and, more importantly, that we picked Happy Tears!

We had the best experience working with John. He was very organized and communicative. We had to postpone our wedding due to Covid and not only was John very supportive in everything he also offered to video our small intimate Covid wedding for free of charge in addition to videoing our rescheduled wedding for the following year. He was very accommodating with everything. He made sure he had all of the information he needed before our wedding. Our video turned out amazing, better than we could have imagined. He even was able to combine our small Covid wedding video and our big wedding video into one. Everything was perfect. All of the moments we wanted captured were captured. The drone shots really made the video as well.

Hey Leanne! It was such a pleasure working with you and Bobby, for both weddings! These multiple weddings, for what we, in the industry, are calling "COVID BRIDES", have been quite challenging; to say the least! But you and Bobby are a role model couple, as far as I'm concerned. Thank you, so much, for your positive attitudes, throughout...!!! And; may God Bless your marriage!

THE BEST!!!
From the very beginning our whole experience with Happy Tears was wonderful!! My husband and I are so happy with our wedding video and so glad that John was able to film our day himself. John really loves what he does and it shows in the quality of his work! He spoke to us several times before our wedding to make sure he knew what was important to us. John was a pleasure to work with and did an absolutely amazing job on our wedding video. I would recommend him to everyone to capture their BIG day!
