We caught up with wedding photographer Ryan Browne this week. He and his wife Heidi are the creators of New York-based studios Forged in the North and After It All. He tells us about growing into two distinct studios, supporting his shooters, and balancing all that with family life while expanding into aerial photography. About Ryan: Born and raised in the Chicago suburbs, Ryan had an affinity for creating with his hands from an early age. Grandson of a woodworker and son of an architect, its in Ryan's blood to build things from scratch. He attended college near his hometown in Illinois, studying Architecture and Sustainable Design. After working as an architect in New York City, he left to pursue photography and filmmaking full time in 2012. Ryan's work embodies his continual pursuit to design within a constrained set of parameters, most often, the landscapes he flies over with his camera. He would call himself an urbanist with an affinity for nature, but his friends would make fun of him for sounding pretentious. Currently residing in Brooklyn NY, Ryan satisfies his desire for exploration by traveling the world with his wife Heidi, who is a wonderfully talented fashion and beauty commercial photographer.
