Lotus 7 Films

When booking with Lotus 7 Films, you can expect punctuality, professionalism, creativity, and respect. We understand the importance of being on time (played football in college, didn't want to be late to a meeting, trust me!).

You are not booking someone who will be an eyesore during your wedding day either. We dress and act professionally. If this means cleaning the isle of a leaf that fell off the tree, or cleaning the floor so the bride's dress doesn't get wet during her first look (happened), we go above and beyond for our couples to have an everlasting memory of their wedding day.

Creativity. This is always evolving. When you work with us, you will get a crew (99% it is me, the owner with my second shooter) that can step into an environment and diagnose every aspect of it to create stunning imagery on film. Where is the light coming from? Are there reflective surfaces? What is the texture of the bride's dress? How can we control this light for a more flattering angle? These are just a couple of the thousands of things we ask ourselves during the wedding day. Everything is looked at to create beautiful footage for an amazing story. You aren't getting a crew that is simply there to press record and stand in front of you. We are artists and storytellers.

And respect. We have always been respectful to everyone involved on the wedding day. Other vendors, the venue cleaning crew, the couple, the guests, and of course ourselves. We understand that we represent much more than just ourselves. We each represent our cultures, religions, families, friends, companies, and couple.

At Lotus 7 Films you can expect that we will treat you as royalty during the wedding day, but you become our friends and family afterwards.

Lotus 7 Films was founded by filmmaker Abraham Mercado in May of 2016. While studying as a Broadcast Major in Baltimore, MD, Abraham had to take a class called Video Production. One of the projects involved creating a short film. This was the spark that he needed to fall in love with story telling. The scripting, the filming, the editing, the details, really created a deep passion for creating powerful and emotional content.

After transferring to FAU, Abraham switched majors and graduated with a Bachelors in Film and New Media, as well as a Bachelors in Judaic Studies. During college, he began creating music videos for non profit organizations, which accumulated thousands of views quickly. His videos played at huge events and galas and landed him a job as an editor in for a Video Production studio in Boca Raton, FL.

Abraham quickly learned the craft of storytelling, filming, and editing; especially editing emotional love stories at the studio. Words he lives by are "If it doesn't make me cry, it is not ready for the the couple to watch their video." He took the video production studio to new levels in the wedding videography industry and decided to pursue his passion of creating his own brand and company, which is when Lotus 7 Films was born.

Since the founding of Lotus 7 Films, emotionally driven love stories is what the focus has been. Words can't describe when we get a phone call or an email from couples saying "I can't stop watching it", or "I am crying, gasping for air, in awe of your work, and in love. Thank you."

Lotus 7 Films will continue to create emotionally driven stories, with an artistic, fun, and cinematic approach forever and ever.

At Lotus 7 Films we utilize some of the best cameras in the industry. Long gone are the days of the massive camcorders that look like a home video. We are using cameras that filmmakers utilize every single day all over the world.

When booking with us, you not only get 2 videographers, but also multiple cameras. During a wedding we use between 4 and 5 cameras to best capture each and every angle.

We use 3 Sony A7sii, and 1 Sony A7s.

We understand that to put together a love story, we need to capture the words that were spoken during the wedding day. That is why, we are incredibly meticulous when recording audio. We utilize lavalier mics that we place on the groom and officiant if allowed, and connect to the soundboard of the DJ or venue. if allowed.
