What makes Kristofer Thompson with Asheville Videography a good neighbor?
Meet Kristofer Thompson, the passionate force behind Asheville Videography, who transformed his longtime interest in visual storytelling into a thriving multi-city business. After spending 15 years as an IT professional, Kristofer followed his artistic calling and hasn't looked back since founding his company in 2009.
What makes Kristofer's approach unique is his deep understanding of how personal preferences shape the perfect visual experience. He shares fascinating insights about how simple questions—like whether someone enjoys slow-motion footage—reveal profound information about what will satisfy different clients. "If you're not emotional, you might find slow motion cheesy and prefer documentary-style," he explains, demonstrating how his team tailors each project to match the client's vision rather than imposing their own artistic preferences.
The conversation reveals the meticulous pre-production process that sets Christopher's team apart. Rather than simply taking orders, they engage clients with examples, questions about likes and dislikes, and thorough discussions that prevent disappointment. This client-centered philosophy extends to how they market across multiple cities, including Asheville, Knoxville, Johnson City, Gatlinburg, Greenville, and Charlotte, using city-specific websites and targeted social media. When not capturing life's precious moments, Christopher teaches fitness classes at local gyms, bringing the same passion to promoting health as he does to preserving memories.
