Born and raised in a small town in Maine, Bryan instantly fostered a love for all things outdoors and wild. A short stint in Manhattan for college and then back to New England to work on his craft. A short few years later he found himself back in New York where he would meet his now wife and mother of his daughter.

Candle making came later in life, birthed through tragedy and loss. As an outlet to deal with these complex emotions and life events Bryan found a new love for a craft he didn’t consider before.

Combining his love for nature and telling a story through sensory queues, Stay North was brought to light. Photos to connect you to the active world around you as well as fragrances to connect you back to those places.
