About Tim Tab

I grew up in a big Franco-American family in the Alps of Southern France. I was raised with an appreciation for nature, music, and all the classical arts Europe had to offer. I found myself in Chicago for college and my new American friends couldn’t grasp all the silent letters in my name, Timothee Tabailloux, and began calling me Tim Tab.

In 2007, after capturing my first wedding for a friend, I decided to pursue wedding photography. This career has been profoundly fulfilling. Over the years, my work has filled the pages of publications such as BRIDES Magazine, Town & Country, Style Me Pretty, Modern Luxury and Martha Stewart. I take pride in being recognized as one of the top ten wedding photographers in Chicago by Wezoree.

Beyond the lens, my greatest joy comes from being a husband and father of four. Running a small business offers me the flexibility to bend my professional life around my family’s needs, allowing me to be the kind of dad I always hoped to be.

With over 500 weddings under my belt, I feel a deep sense of gratitude at having been chosen to witness and capture the fleeting moments that mark the formation of a new family. My style is a blend of joy and elegance. I love to set couples in beautiful locations and offer simple prompts that can turn any rigid pose into an energetic and joyful portrait. When I’m not directing portraits, you’ll find me gravitating towards whoever is having the most fun on the dancefloor.
