  I'm not familiar with his work before today but from what I can tell you'll probably want to get an f1.4 lens and a lot of chrismas lights to start. As far as post processing goes the "Brandon Woelfel effect" appears to be a good amount of layers/double exposures of out of focus point light sources, or smoke, or other things floating in the air, and color toning, then basic portrait retouching (dodge & burn, local contrast, etc). The layers you can not do in C1 or LR, you'd have to do that in camera or in photoshop. The toning and retouching can be achieved in C1.
  
  In comparing LR to CO1, LR uses the HSL/Color tab to adjust hue, saturation, and luminance of individual colors where CO1 uses the color editor to make these adjustments. When using the color editor tool click on the colored circles to select any particular color. Tick the "View selected color range" box and you can see which colors are being adjusted. By moving the handles on the color wheel you can broaden or narrow in on the colors that will be adjusted. Alternatively you can go to the Advanced or Skin Tone tabs and select colors with the color pickers.
  
  LR uses Split Toning, CO1 uses Color balance to achieve similar toning effects to shadows, midtones, & highlights. Note that CO1 also has a Split Toning tool but it is only available in the B&W tool.
  
  Both programs have curves where you can do color toning using individual channels, additionally CO1 has Levels as well.
  
  Both LR & CO1 have layers for portrait retouching where you can make local contrast adjustments, heal/clone, and do dodge and burning work. You may prefer to do those tasks in photoshop however.

  To add a little to cdc's comments, looking at the subject's web site he offers a before and after gallery.
  
  It occurs to me that the majority of the images start out quite underexposed and he works them up from there. That by itself probably sets the, er, "tone" if you will excuse the term, of much of the subsequent processing. Or so it seems to me.
