About
My name is Tess Hasbrouck
Hi there and thanks for visiting my site! My name is Tess and I'm the owner of Under the Evergreens - Cinematic Wedding Films. I wanted to give a preview into my background to help you get to know me and feel we can become fast friends. I hope you'll reach out!
Early On
With two parents who were interested in photography, I've been lucky to have my hands on a camera from an early age. Whether it was silent, black-and-white comedies or epic mermaid and pirate adventures, I was always thinking of how to tell a story visually.
Education
After graduating Highschool, I attended the University of North Carolina's School of the Arts for their four year filmmaking program. While my studies focused on cinematography, I also studied directing, editing, screenwriting, producing and more. I made two short films while there, both of which earned a place in film festivals. I later graduated with a BFA in Filmmaking.
Film Industry
I have worked on professional film sets from 2017 to 2023, doing a variety of different jobs on different projects. I have worked on a Behind the Scenes interview for Netflix's Stranger Things, music videos for the band Born of Osiris, as well as a 'Friscobowl' Commercial for Scooter's Coffee.
Moving Abroad
A dream of mine for many years had been to live in South Korea. So in 2024, I got my TEFL Certification, took a leap of faith and moved to Busan, South Korea, where I lived and taught English for a year. This experience widened my perspective of the world and our place in it. It taught me the importance of our personal journey and story.
Today
As of 2025, I've decided what is most important to me is people. The emotional connections we make with one another is a magic of its own kind. As a wedding videographer, I would be honored to witness your magic and immortalize it in your own personal cinematic video. Thanks for taking the time to get to know me! I hope you'll let me get to know you, too!
