Cheers to Creativity: Celebrating Brand Gloss’s 2nd Place Win at the Best of Richmond Awards!

Why We Gathered

On the evening of October 23, the Brand Gloss studio was buzzing with laughter, conversation, and celebration as Richmond’s creative community gathered for our Gloss & Gather Happy Hour! The event marked a huge milestone – Brand Gloss winning 2nd best local photographer in the Richmond Times-Dispatch Best of 2025 Awards!

We couldn’t think of a better reason to bring together our favorite creative friends, clients, and collaborators to toast to the power of community (and great branding).

Winning 2nd best local photographer in the Richmond Times-Dispatch Best of 2025 Awards isn’t just a milestone for Brand Gloss, it’s a win for every creative business that believes in doing things with heart. We’ve always believed that branding isn’t just about visuals, it’s about helping entrepreneurs tell their stories with confidence and clarity.

Inside the Brand Gloss Studio, guests mingled, toasted with bubbly, and indulged in sweet treats while enjoying an evening of relaxed networking and genuine connection. It was the perfect mix of celebration and creativity.
