What happens to that entangled particles when one of them wasis measured?

Imagine 2two entangled photons came into existence and one of them areis being measured... We have altered one of the quantum statestates of the photon and caused it'sits wavefunction to collapse and then we measured it's is spin up. Since we know the other pair must be spin down because both the photons are correlated mathematically speaking I am not sure if any physical exchange is going on but right now I trust SR no information can beat the cosmic speed limit. 

Now I want to know, what happens to the other photon, did it'sits wavefunction collapsedcollapse too because we knew it is spin down although we never directly interactinteracted with it?
