Tim Tab

Short for Timothée Tabailloux, but I spare people the silent letters. I was born and raised in France as the second of seven kids. I don't have an accent, but I can fake one if that's your thing. My mom is American, so I grew up speaking Chicago English and carrying a blue passport.

I'm the lead photographer behind Tim Tab Studios, a wedding photography studio based in Chicago, IL. I'm known for my work at the Four Seasons, The Peninsula, Chicago Cultural Center, University Club of Chicago, Chicago Botanic Garden and the Art Institute of Chicago.

My style is a simple blend of joy and elegance. When I'm not directing portraits, you'll find me gravitating towards whoever is having the most fun on the dance floor. Beyond the lens, my greatest joy comes from being a husband and father of four.

I offer full-day wedding collections with two photographers starting at $11,000. Please reach out via the form below to confirm availability and view a comprehensive pricing sheet.
