If you are on the fence about hiring a videographer, I urge you to use Happy Tears! Your wedding goes by in a flash and many moments are missed but to have the video to relive the day, is one of the best decisions we made. John and his team are so talented. They captured the day with all the emotion and excitement that filled it. We got numerous compliments. My husband and I absolutely love our video- it is perfect! Thank you for giving us this gift that we can share together with our family and friends for a lifetime.

John & Chris from Happy Tears Production are AWESOME. John is so passionate about his work & most important the customers he works for. He kept consistent communication to make sure he would capture everything we wanted on our wedding day. John sent us the highlight video this week and it was phenomenal! Highly recommend John & his team at Happy Tears. - The O’Shea’s

My fiancé (at the time) and I were unsure of if we wanted to book a videographer because of the prices we had seen with other vendors. I am so glad we found John! He responded almost immediately and was very personable with us. He offered us a package that was within our budget and still provides quality work. He stayed in touch with us throughout our planning process and made sure we were comfortable and happy with everything. During filming, he does it in such a way that is not invasive and makes sure he can capture all of the wonderful memories of your day. I highly recommend John and Happy Tears!

Talk about one HAPPY customer! Our wedding trailer alone had everyone in (happy!) tears. The quality and attention to detail is outstanding. I am SO glad we decided to get a videographer. Anyone who asks (and even those who don't! lol) I will be the first to tell them, GET A VIDEOGRAPHER. To have actual video footage to look back on from the best day of our lives is something we will treasure forever. Pictures in motion set to beautiful music..it doesn't get better then that. From the first time we spoke on the phone, to the days and weeks following our wedding, John has been nothing short of amazing. He is thorough, kind, thoughtful and understanding. Most of those qualities are hard to find in anyone nowadays, let alone someone in the wedding business. John was a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend Happy Tears Productions to anyone looking for any type of videography, not just weddings. John was patient and not at all pushy. He let us decide what we wanted as far as packages go, and he let us take our time in choosing. He helped us make other decisions for our wedding too! He is a wonderful person and I can't say enough how much we loved working with him and his team. -Jenna & Frank Febbo

I am not one for long reviews but after reading the most recent reviews I felt I had to give my review on John with Happy Tears. From the moment I met John at friends a wedding, I loved him. I didn't have a date or our wedding, but i knew without a doubt Happy Tears would be who caught our special day for us to remember forever. We had Tyler film our day. He got some amazing footage, that i never even knew he was around for. We had a smaller venue, so with John's recomendation we only needed one shooter. I was so excited when i got the trailer...i was on the edge of my seat. The longer video was even better. Tyler has a great eye did an amazing job at filming our first dance, spanning from up close to a bit zoomed out...to a pan from our dancing feet to the top of my tiara. He got even the sparkles i put on my dress and the small Mickey heads on my veil. His attention to detail was amazing. Our video was highlights of our special day, and i couldn't have asked for more. Happy Tears did an amazing job at showcasing us, and still making sure they showed the entire bridal party, walking down the aisle or up the aisle. Our trailer of our special day was magical and showed a glimpse into our memories. It is by no means every second of our day, but that would not be a video that i can show friends and family. The only advice I have for any other bride is remember that raw footage is not in order when you get it, and it is still not every minute of your day. Our raw footage is the pieces left over after edits, and uploads. It was wonderful to see the raw and the video that John made from it. John and the whole Happy Tears staff is amazing.

My husband and I couldn’t be any happier with our wedding video from Happy Tears! John is an absolute pleasure to work with and our video turned out better than we could have ever imagined! He listened to exactly what we wanted and has helped us to relive our wedding for years to come! I’m so glad we chose Happy Tears to capture our special day and would recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding videographer !

I recently left 5 star reviews for Happy Tears Productions, and I'm sadden that I must reduce them. This review does/will not change my great experience working with John. He has great character, professionalism and was easy to work with. His personality was a wonderful fit. As he's selective with accepting jobs from couples; our selection of a videographer was just as meticulous. UNFORTUNATELY, this review revision comes from receiving and watching our final edited video and the raw footage. I was so impressed after watching our highlight video that I was so excited to rave about Happy Tears! BUT, our entire wedding video was less than half decent. Most of the video was shot up-close/zoomed in. It wasn't very flattering. At the ceremony they failed to capture our wedding party walking down the aisle. Instead we got glimpses of them coming out and turning the bend. John said the space was tight (I agree), but he captured mine and the groom's walks down the aisle. He said he didn't like that the photographer or other guests were in the frames, but i rather had them in it then not have that footage at all. Continuing with the ceremony, there were no video of anyone but us, the couple (the top half of us-no full length footage). You could barely see our wedding party, and very little glimpse of the guests. We had 2 shooters at the ceremony, both failed to capture much. During the reception, you couldn't see any of the venue, which didn't give me the feel for the space. I wanted to admire how beautiful the ballroom was. Our dances with each other and our parents were all zoomed in, and at times TOPS OF OUR HEADS WERE CUT OFF. There WEREN'T ANY FULL-LENGTH SHOTS OF ANYTHING. The speeches were of the speaker and maybe a cut off of either the groom or I, but none of us together listening to the speaker. There wasn't much footage of my husband and I together at all. I really could nit-pick about so much that was wrong, but i feel these were the most important points i had to share. John was empathetic when I spoke to him about my concerns, but he didn't do anything to remedy the situation, in reality, he couldn't. The day has come and gone, and we have what we have. Even going through the raw footage, i keep telling at my TV to "zoom out!". It never happened. I hate having to give a bad review to a great guy, but this is a business. Future brides and grooms need to know what they're getting into. We only hired one shooter for the reception and that's why he said I got a constant close-up view, but that was never told to me prior to wedding day. John suggested to only hire one shooter, not only to save money, but also he said it wasn't necessary to have 2 shooters- he's the expert, so i took his advice. I would've much rather paid a lot less to just have a couple of people follow us around with a video camera. We, myself, my husband along with our families were incredibly disappointed with the video, raw and edited. We aren't the over-bearing type of people. I'm sure John could attest to us being pretty laid back and easy going. So this "bad review" doesn't come easy.

My husband and I were married on 11/10/2018 and chose Happy Tears for our wedding videographer and we are very happy we did! John was so kind and helpful, Even though John was not the videographer on the day of our wedding, We had Jackie to be my videographer for the day.Jackie was amazing, so easy going and the kindness people ever. Due to another wedding at the same venue, Jackie and my photographers had to wing it, everything ran sooo smoothly because of them. LOL Also I wanted to dance on top of a chair and Jackie got a chair for me to stand up on to sing my favorite song. SHE WAS TRULY THE BEST!!! I am so happy with my highlight video I cant wait to see the rest. THANK YOU AGAIN JOHN FOR EVERYTHING!
