About Me
Hello! I’m Weston Neuschafer – Brand & Wedding Photographer based on California’s Central Coast.
My journey with photography began at a young age, back in the days of film when digital was just emerging. Fascinated by capturing moments, I quickly turned that interest into passion. Right after high school, with my first paycheck in hand, I invested in a professional Nikon camera, and the adventure truly began. My friends quickly dubbed me the “photographer” of the group, and before I knew it, I was photographing my first wedding.
I continued my studies at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, where I majored in Social Science with a focus on Business Organizations. Studying people, cultures, and the dynamics of groups not only intrigued me but also deeply enriched my work as a photographer. Understanding the importance of storytelling within social settings became my foundation for capturing authentic, emotional moments in my work.
With a laid-back personality, a curious spirit, and a relentless drive to document life’s incredible stories, I approach each shoot with a sense of purpose and fun. Photography is more than a job for me – it’s an art form where I get to connect with amazing people, tell unique stories, and capture once-in-a-lifetime moments.
As an entrepreneur, my creativity and ambition extend beyond photography. Together with my wife, I co-founded a clothing and accessory brand that’s recognized nationwide. This endeavor has been an amazing journey of team building and connecting with people, much like my work behind the lens.
Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with incredible individuals, families, and brands, including:
- St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital
- ESPN
- Elite YouTube Influencers like Benji Travis, It’s Judy’s Life, Sean Cannell from Think Media
- TRUE Dance Potential
- Confidential Hollywood Film Producers
- David Garibaldi
- Hearst Castle
- Centinela Feed, Inc. and many more.
I have photographed over 100 weddings across the USA and internationally, along with countless portrait sessions, family gatherings, and small local business shoots. My work has taken me from intimate local events to breathtaking destinations, capturing each story with dedication and a personal touch.
One of my proudest moments was seeing my work published in New York’s Times Square, honoring a young cancer survivor for St. Jude – a humbling experience that highlighted the power of photography to make a difference.
Bringing Business Insight into Photography
Drawing from both my photography and business experiences, I bring a branding approach to my photography services. My goal isn’t only to capture beautiful images but to elevate my clients’ social media presence and offer guidance on impactful branding and business strategy. Whether it’s for personal milestones or professional projects, I help my clients stand out with a holistic, brand-oriented approach that combines visual storytelling with social media savvy.
If you’re looking for a photographer who values connection, story, and a bit of adventure, I’d love to work with you and capture moments you’ll treasure for a lifetime.
