A Chic D.C. Love Story with a Culinary Twist | Jessica & Charisse

Jessica and Charisse met while both working with Jose Andres. Charisse the director of research and development at ThinkFoodGroup played hard to get when Jessica pursued her. But it didn't last long because they quickly become glued at the hip. Hard to keep their relationship a secret as they enjoyed each other's company so much they quickly decided to share with their work-family.

For their engagement session, they wanted to showcase one of their personal favorite places to celebrate together at a Jose Andres stable in DC, both Barmini and Minibar. Following portraits at the restaurant, we ventured outside to capture the feeling of the city they call home. Chasing the light from Penn Quarter to Shaw.

Jessica wore a full-length slip dress in cognac while Charisse wore a textured navy blue blazer for their first outfit. They both changed into a second look with Jessica in a mini white dress with enough shoulder detailing for the both of them and Charisse wore a white button-down paired with a sweater to soften the look.
