If you are on the fence about committing to videography for your event, I am here to tell you to absolutely go for it and to pick Happy Tears Videography! John is an absolute joy to work with. He is very flexible and he sure does bring a lot of energy to the whole experience. We were very comfortable with him. He was reliable throughout the entire process and exceeded our expectations in regards to the timeline of our completed product as well as the quality of the videos he provided! If you haven’t watched some of the Happy Tears sample videos, you should! Now I am lucky enough to have a beautifully personalized video of my own to remember such a momentous and happy occasion in my life. I know looking back on this day, being able to hear and see the night unfold will be something that I always treasure. A perfect experience from start to finish, 10/10, 5 stars, 100%. Thank you John, for being a part of our special day and for capturing lasting memories for us.

Would HIGHLY recommend
John was extremely attentive to me and my husband. He wanted to make sure everything was perfect for our video. He contacted us several times prior to our wedding to get all the details and hear what we wanted. It definitely helped that he has an easy going personality and is a bit of a comedian. We enjoyed talking and working with John. Our video was absolutely beautiful and brought tears to my eyes. I was able to relive my wedding day. He captured so many details that I missed. As a bride, you are rushed around and miss a lot of what's going on around you. John made sure to include everything in our video. If you are thinking about writing letters to each prior to the ceremony, ask John for different ideas. My husband is private and did not want me to read the letter he had wrote me out loud. John had an amazing idea to record our voices for the video, so as I read the letter silently you could hear my husband's voice reading it. That was a great idea and really put a sentimental touch in our video. I would highly recommend Happy Tears Videographery to everyone I possibly can. John was like a fly on the wall. You never even knew he was there the whole night. Even my guests said they never realized he was video taping. Everyone feels comfortable with him around and continues to act themselves. John did a great job! I cannot express that enough.

I came across Happy Tears at a Bridal…
I came across Happy Tears at a Bridal Show early-on in our planning process. From the first meeting, John and his crew were so easy to talk to, helpful, approachable, and talented! Before booking, I checked out some of his work and was so pleased to see that Happy Tears covered a wedding that I had attended! Once we decided to move forward with Happy Tears, many phone conversations with John were exchanged where he got to know us as a couple and our unique style. We felt comfortable telling him what we liked and what we didn’t. On the day of our wedding, our videographer, Chris, was wonderful. He was on-time, professional, approachable, and amazing at his job! Our wedding teaser video was ready TWO DAYS LATER and it was AMAZING! Shortly after, our official wedding video was finished and I could not be more happy with it. There is nothing like re-living the best day of your life over and over again. John was personable in his interactions with us and so supportive of our commitment. I could not be more pleased with Happy Tears and our wedding video. Do yourself a favor and choose Happy Tears!

Hey Kirsten; WOW! THAT WAS A HEART-FELT REVIEW!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! Being in this business is WAY MORE ABOUT THE $$$...TO ME; as you know! Achieving my goal, of making my couples feel, about their wedding video production, as YOU DO, as evidenced by your extraordinarily kind words, IS WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT, for me!!! And btw Kirsten, a couple as attractive, as you and Nick, help make that goal more achievable!!! And speaking of "attractive", O...M...G... WHAT A PRETTY BRIDE YOU MADE, KIRSTEN!!! NO JOKE! Chris even actually called me, on his way home from filming the wedding, and he said: "John; you are absolutely going to LOVE THIS BRIDE'S SMILE! I JUST COULDN'T TAKE THE CAMERA OFF OF HER FACE!! I HOPE I DIDN'T GO OVERBOARD ON ALL THE CLOSE-UP'S...OF HER!!" Well; when I received the footage, from Chris, I reached back out to him and said two words: "SPOT-ON"!!! I just went ABSOLUTELY NUTS over all the great footage he shot, I found myself feeling, FOR SURE, that I wanted to have been the one to have been there....but in all honesty, Kirsten; I couldn't have done a better job...!! I told Chris, point-blank, that, with his footage, from your wedding, he "set the bar into a whole new stratosphere" for himself!!! OMG I could go on and on...AND ON....but I'll shut-up now; and just take this opportunity to re-congratulate you and Nick, on your marriage! I'm looking forward to seeing you two, next week, when I deliver your physical product! In the meantime; take care and GOD BLESS!!! :)

Happy Tears brought me happy tears!
Going into planning a wedding, I always said I wouldn’t get a video. One, because they are expensive, and two, I never wanted to sit down and watch it. After I found Happy Tears, during a bridal show, I decided that I NEEDED a wedding video. They were personable, happy, and fun! I actually won a 50% off deal while attending a bridal show- they attend a lot of bridal shows. While working with this company they were easy, had great communication, and really cared what I wanted. They worked with me through thick and thin, during a pandemic wedding. John went out of his way to make sure my head was still attached, while in the midst of the coronavirus. He didn’t have to, but he cared that much about his client. When creating my video, he made sure I loved it and included everything I wanted. I will recommend Happy Tears every time someone asks about cinematography.

Working with you, throughout the whole process, was sincerely a pleasure, for me; Carli! You and Matt ROCK!! :)

Happy Tears - Best vendor we hired!
I can’t express enough how happy I was with Happy Tears Productions. John Rink ( owner) is a true professional and passionate about his craft. John has excellent communication skills and walks you through the various stages of the video planning for your wedding. He is always available to answer any questions and has the biggest heart. For me, my wedding video was one of the most important aspects of wedding planning because your wedding video will allow you and your family & friends to see all aspects of your wedding day. These are memories that are PRICELESS. John & his team are so professional. We had Jacquline & Joe who were able to capture all the wedding day moments in a very indiscreet way. The drone footage of the Cape May beachfront was just breathtaking! ! I can’t say enough wonderful things about John & his team. This is absolutely a vendor that you can depend on.

Hey Kate! Thank you, so much, for that awesome review; AND THANK YOU TO YOUR MOM FOR HIRING US HERE AT HAPPY TEARS, in the first place!!! As you know; your Mom and I worked together, toward your wedding day, quite a bit, before you and I actually got acquainted. I could tell, from day-one, how PERFECT your Mom wanted your wedding day to be, and I assured her that MY GOAL WAS MUTUAL, AND THAT I WOULD IN FACT MAKE SUCH COME TO FRUITION (as you now know). ;-) Being a parent of 2 adults, and a grandparent of 4 amazing grandchildren, I immediately related to how you are the apple of your Mother's eye, Kate! Now; fast-forward to after the wedding, and the completion of your wedding video production, whereby I can say: "GOAL ACHIEVED", or probably even more appropriately put: "DREAM REALIZED", RIGHT?!? ;-) Bottom Line, Kate: You and Dan are going to have an amazing life together! I totally know it! And btw; you get the Happy Tears "Cutest Couple Award", for 2020!!!!!!!

Wonderful Experience
What a wonderful experience John creates from start to finish! From his initial intake phone call, he shows that he truly cares about his clients and wants to get to know them. Due to COVID-19, we had to downsize all aspects of our wedding and John was very understanding and supportive along the way. He demonstrated his flexibility and professionalism throughout the difficult decisions we had to make and relay to him. Leading up to our micro-wedding, John arranged a phone call to confirm details which helped put our minds at ease. He was funny, easy going but thorough in his approach with us. On the day of our wedding, he arrived early and immediately got to work shooting everything he could. The final product- our wedding video- turned out to be the most beautiful thing we’ve ever seen! He listened to all our requests and then some... We were truly impressed. Since then, we’ve gotten numerous compliments from people who we have shared this video with too. We will cherish the video of our micro-wedding forever and are looking forward to working with John again next summer and seeing how that video turns out! Overall, we highly recommend John at Happy Tears Productions for your wedding videography needs!!!

We were very happy with Happy Tears as…
We were very happy with Happy Tears as our Videographer for our wedding. Our wedding was scheduled for June 2020 and we had to postpone it because of COVID. We told John we were rescheduling for the following year but still doing a small wedding on our original date. He immediately told us that he wanted to do something for his couples who had to postpone their weddings due to the pandemic and he offered to come to our intimate wedding free of charge. We were so thankful and excited that he offered this to us. The video he made was amazing! I cannot wait to see when the two videos are merged next year after our wedding. John is so kind and thoughtful and does amazing work! I would highly recommend Happy Tears to anyone who is looking for a Videographer for their wedding. He also gives discounts to teachers which was a plus with my husband and I both being teachers.
