John was amazing and made sure to do everything I asked for. He even made sure to capture the big surprise of the Phillie Phanatic coming to our reception. He greeted us in the pouring rain at our reception and made a point to come and see us before he left. I was originally on the fence about getting a videographer but I am so glad that I did.

We used Happy Tears for our wedding…
We used Happy Tears for our wedding 7-14-18 and we're truly amazed with the communication with John from the start! He reached out and made sure we knew exactly what to expect, also was willing to work with us on anything we wanted. We had Jackie for getting ready and Tyler during the ceremony/reception. They both did an amazing job getting every moment without us even noticing they were there!

Hey Shirley! Thank you, so much, for specifically mentioning Tyler and Jacqueline, in your awesome review! They have both been with me, for a very long time, and I am proud of the both of them! Ultimately I am so grateful that you were happy with all of us, as pleasing our clientele is our utmost goal!

The Force was with Us ;)
We knew from the beginning that we wanted a videographer to capture our wedding. My husband and I sat watching samples from numerous videographers, however, we continued to come back to Happy Tears. After our first email exchange with John, we knew that he was the man we wanted to work with for our wedding. Right from the start he was friendly and warm, yet professional. He put us at ease with the idea of having someone follow us around with cameras for the day. In the months and weeks leading up to the wedding, John was available for any questions or concerns we had. He was also full of excellent wedding related tips. The week before the wedding we collaborated to put a timeline together to allow for the wedding to flow as smoothly as possible. On the day of the wedding, we barely noticed the camera. He flawlessly blended in with our surroundings. In what seemed like no time at all we received notice that our video was completed and ready to be viewed. We loved the final product. John’s attention to detail and passion for filming weddings and events were evident in our video. He listened carefully to likes and dislikes, and incorporated our personalities seamlessly into the video. Lastly, John coordinated with the venue, photographer, and DJ to provide the best possible product. We would not hesitate to recommend John and Happy Tears to our friends and family.

My husband and I were initially…
My husband and I were initially hesitant to hire a videographer due to the accumulation of all the wedding costs. After much thought and carefully combing through out budget we decided to make this a necessary cost. I did excessive research on all the local videographers along with their expenses. I found Happy Tears on The Knot. We decided to speak with John about his services. I am so beyond thrilled that we did! From the moment I reached out to John he was very responsive to any and all of my questions/concerns.
We had an initial phone conversation about what to expect from him as our videographer. As the wedding was fast approaching I sent frequent emails in regards to what I was looking for our video to include, what extras I wanted, and how I imagined my video to be. We also had a conversation 5 days before the wedding to go over important details of the day and timelines.
The day of the wedding everything went perfectly. Both John and his other videographer were successful in capturing every important part of the day without being noticed. Within 24 hours of our wedding we received the most beautiful teaser video that included a very sweet moment I was not there to witness between my grandparents. We received our trailer within about two weeks of our wedding. I have already watched these videos a few times a week since our wedding while crying (happy tears). Our full work was done within a month.
John has gone ABOVE AND BEYOND to add in extras for us. He has continued to amaze me with his work. I am awaiting our full feature along with all unedited footage and cannot wait to see what he has put together. If the teaser and trailer are any indication then I already know I will be extremely happy. I am so happy we decided to spend the money so that an amazing team could capture our perfect day for us.
Thank you Happy Tears!!!

Thank you, Adam and Chavonne, for such a fantastic review! We really appreciate that! Shooting your wedding was a sincere pleasure! First of all; your family was great! I loved your Grandparents, and was so happy to be able to get their interview footage, for you, and actually surprise you, with it, when you finally saw it on your video! haha, Sneaky huh?!? I did that, when you were absent from the room, getting ready... haha ;-)

My husband and I just recently married …
My husband and I just recently married on September 24th, at the Bradford Estate, and we chose Happy Tears for our wedding day videography services. John and his staff were very professional throughout the ENTIRE process. I absolutely loved working with him. Before knowing anything about video, I came across Happy Tears scrolling through videographer on theknot.com just to get an idea of what could fit into our budget. Coincidentally, me husband and I ended up hearing from John, being that we won a package from a bridal show hosted at Cherry Hill Mall. At first, we thought video wasn't going to be important, as we were on a tight budget, but once we heard and spoke with John we knew it was something we would want to take part in. John was very easy going, and enthusiastic since day one. From our first initial meeting, he went through everything, and I mean everything with us, and he even had us check out his video services from previous weddings to assure that we were happy with his work. To be honest, he was not one of those who only cared about money, and he even made suggestions to adjust to our budget. You could tell he cared about providing a great service. On the day of our wedding, we worked with one of his amazing videographers, and she was great, very professional. She arrived earlier than expected, and got right to work. She was extremely polite, her personality was amazing, and she was very upbeat and into everything. SHE MISSED NOTHING! Marcus and I were very impressed

Videography was not on the top of our list but so happy that we decided to go with Happy Tears! From the beginning of the process Happy Tears was amazing. From working within our budget to asking one of their staff to work last minute on a holiday weekend so we could have two videographers, the service was outstanding. John looks out for his clients and makes sure you get the absolute best service possible. We couldn’t be more happy with our choice and would recommend them to anyone.

Excellent Videography
My wife and I were just recently married in May, and we chose to use Happy Tears for our videography services. We made our choice based on two things, affordability and quality. After combing through a bunch of websites, I came across Happy Tears and was immediately impressed with what I saw. Coincidentally, my wife and I ended up meeting John at a bridal show before we could even contact him. From the very beginning John was very enthusiastic and you could tell he genuinely took pride in his work. Leading up to our wedding, John was very easy to contact, and he answered every question we could think of. He made suggestions based on our budget, and never attempted to upsell us or take advantage. On our wedding day, he was great. He was very professional and footage that he got was amazing. The quality of his cameras is top notch and I can honestly say I’m impressed. I would recommend Happy Tears to anyone.

WOW! Thank you for that awesome Review; Enoch! I love it when GROOMS write the review (seeing that 9x out of 10; it's the Bride...) ;-) Hey btw; being at your wedding was a huge honor, for me! First and foremost; I loved working with you and Rudisha! Moreover; I was excited to hear the ADDITIONAL GOOD NEWS THAT YOU TWO ARE 'EXPECTING'...!!! CONGRATS ON THAT, MY GOOD FRIEND!!!! And lastly; your wedding was quite nostalgic, for me, because Auletto's is the venue where I shot my very first wedding, officially in the business; way back when...!!! Happy 4th of July; Enoch! May you, Rudisha, families and friends; have a fun-filled (AND SAFE) holiday!!!!!!! Very truly yours; John - Creator of HAPPY TEARS!

Happy Tears is a must!
Even before the wedding, we were very glad to have gone with Happy Tears for our big day. We spoke several times over the phone John, so he could gather as many details he possibly could to help suggest the best package for us, along with laying out the wedding day filming plans. On the day of the wedding, we barely noticed the two videographers, which allowed us to be as comfortable as possible while we were getting ready. After only a couple of weeks, we were surprised to receive a call from John letting us know our videos were complete. Happy Tears provided us three videos; a 10 min full day trailer and two longer videos of the entire ceremony and the reception. The raw footage was also included!! Within the first minute of the first video we watched, we absolutely knew we made the right choice, not that we had any doubts beforehand. If you’re getting married soon, make sure you at least contact John at Happy Tears…you won’t be disappointed.
