Hi, I’m Tim Tabailloux.
I grew up in France as the son of a Frenchman and American woman, and returned to my mother’s roots in Chicago for college. No one could pronounce my last name (Tab-a-you), so my roommates dubbed me Tim Tab. After shooting my first wedding in 2007 I decided to change course on my aspirations of working in video production and went full-time into wedding photography.
It has been a rewarding journey as I’ve been able to see my work published in many national publications such as BRIDES Magazine, Town & Country, Modern Luxury and I’ve even had the honor of being named one of the top ten wedding photographers in Chicago.
While I love using my cameras to make a living, my biggest reason for staying in the wedding industry is that it affords me six days per week at home with my wife and four kids while they are young. Being a small business owner lets me bend my work around my family’s needs, not the other way around, and I love having the freedom to be the kind of dad that I want to be.
It’s been over 500 weddings now, and I still enter each wedding with excitement and anticipation for making amazing photographs of those once in a lifetime moments when a new family is being created. I strive to capture a balance between honest moments of joy and timeless portraits that are full of life. I don’t like to micro-manage the angle of your chin or try to make you look like someone that you are not. I will set you up in beautiful locations and give you plenty of direction as well as prompts to break you out of stiff poses. Many of my best portraits come in the moments in between so I will intentionally make time and space for you to make each other laugh, smile and have fun on your wedding day. When I’m not directing portraits you’ll find me shooting candids and capturing the joy on the dance floor.
