About Me
Hey, I’m Will Simpson — wedding photographer, storyteller, and now your Lightroom guide.
When I first picked up a camera, I had no idea it would lead me into some of the most emotional, beautiful, and fleeting moments of people’s lives. Over the years, I’ve photographed hundreds of weddings, chased golden light, and captured raw, real connection. But here’s the truth: even the most amazing shot can fall flat without the right edit.
That’s where Lightroom comes in — and why I created this course.
I’ve spent thousands of hours behind the lens and behind the screen, learning how to use Lightroom to bring photos to life. My editing process isn’t about filters or trendy presets — it’s about understanding light, color, and emotion, and giving your photos the soul they deserve.
This course is everything I wish I had when I started — no fluff, just practical, real-world editing that’s fast, effective, and gets your photos to wow without wasting hours.
Whether you’re brand new to editing or looking to tighten up your workflow, I’ve built this to be clear, creative, and actually fun. Let’s get you editing like a pro — and maybe even falling in love with Lightroom like I did.
See you inside.
— Will
