A Video Memories

I worked with Mike to create a 50^th Wedding anniversary Montage for my parents and he did a great job helping me make a memorable video. Everyone was so moved by the production. My only comment is that the packaging and labeling of the DvD could be more finished.

Mike was wonderful to work with. From the beginning, he was very organized, and showed me examples of his work.
The most impressive piece of Mike’s work is his Love Story. It begins with a picture montage (which is a video of pics of the couple growing up and then together), he then adds in footage of the actual wedding day (bride/​groom getting ready, ceremony highlights), and then is able to PLAY it at the reception. I held my reception at US cellular field, and they played our Love Story on the jumbotron. It was stunning, and brought tears to quite a few of the guest’s eyes!
Mike got so much wonderful footage of our wedding, and how he put it together is just breathtaking. He then does a «recap» at the end of your video, and he is VERY timely with getting the video and DVD’s to you. I could not be happier with his work, and now I have this wonderful video as a memory of our special day.
I was so impressed with Mike that I highly recommended him to several of my friends who have recently become engaged. I have gotten so many compliments on his work, thank you Mike!

Don’t do business with this guy! He deserves NO stars!!!
We hired Mike Slowik, owner of A Video Memories who also goes by Acura Filmworks for our wedding in Oct 2009. It’s almost been 4 years we still DO NOT have a wedding video that we paid him $ 2,000 for. For almost a year from the day of our wedding we contacted Mike Slowik to no avail. He dodged our calls and didn’t respond to the many emails we sent him. Horrible service. Headaches. Stress. No professionalism. Unfortunately, we have also discovered that Mike Slowik has performed this atrocity to many other newlyweds. All of our stories were the same. Mike Slowik would take their money; show up on the wedding day; and never produce a video. Then many unhappy couples will try to contact him repeatedly over time with no response. Other couples need to be forewarned. This should not happen again. We hope that other couples may not go through this terrible experience.
