I was raised in southern France and came to Chicago for college in 2004. My friends couldn’t pronounce my last name (Tab-a-you), so they nicknamed me Tim Tab. I founded Tim Tab Studios in my dorm room in 2007 after being asked to shoot a friend’s wedding and have since loved every day getting to do this job. In 2011, my wife Bethany joined me full-time as my administrative queen. The experience of working together has been completely wonderful for us. We form a well-balanced team with me as the lead shooter and Bethany as my second photographer at many of my weddings. The seasonal aspect of the wedding industry offers us the opportunity to travel back to France regularly to keep us connected to my roots, and teach our three daughters to love France. We can’t imagine having a career more suited to our lives. It’s been over 400 weddings now, and I still enter each wedding day with a deep gratitude and empathy for the emotion and magnitude of our clients’ wedding days.

8 Reviews for Tim Tab Studios
Organizing and planning for the wedding day with Tim was also extremely easy, he is super responsive and easy to work with! Also, aside from amazing photos, early in our planning process he gave us some vendor recommendations – many of which we ended up also working with who were equally as amazing.
For the main event, our wedding, Tim and Bethany truly went above and beyond. We were working with a tight timeline which included a first look with the groom, my dad, and my bridesmaids as well as two different getting ready locations, and a large wedding party. None of this phased them at all – our timeline was managed perfectly while still getting all the photos we wanted. They also helped us pick the perfect locations for our photos – the Ambassador balcony for our first look and a park for additional pictures that allowed us to be by the lake/city, and still close enough to the ceremony location. Tim and Bethany were also snapping pictures when we didn’t even know it! We have so many special photos of memories we didn’t even expect, like crossing the street to the church with my sister holding my dress and my sister helping my mom with her dress. They worked flawlessly throughout the event, and I hardly even knew they were there! Tim also made sure I got all the different friend shots I wanted and worked with my sister to round everyone up!
I look at our wedding portfolio at least twice a day and I will never get over how perfect the photos are. Thank you again Bethany and Tim for capturing our perfect day and us so magically! We will cherish these memories forever.
