Rising After Devastating Hurricane: How Montego Bay Photographer LLC and Jamaica Flying Dress Are Powering Forward After Hurricane Melissa

When Hurricane Melissa slammed into Jamaica on October 28, 2025, the island was left reeling. The Category 5 storm — the most powerful ever recorded to hit Jamaica — tore through communities, flattening homes, uprooting trees, washing out roads, and flooding entire towns. Winds topping 180 mph left a trail of destruction and heartbreak that many describe as nothing short of a massacre.

For businesses across the island, the devastation was immense — and for Montego Bay Photographer LLC, home of the world-renowned Jamaica Flying Dress experience, the blow was deeply personal.

A Business Tested — But Not Broken

The company’s founder, Kevin Wright, watched from the United States as his beloved Jamaica endured nature’s fury. His team on the ground faced significant losses — including damage to one of the company’s vehicles and the loss of valuable photography equipment used to create the stunning flying-dress imagery seen around the world.

Yet in true Jamaican spirit, Kevin and his team refused to let the storm define them.

“We took a hit — no question. But if there’s one thing Jamaica teaches you, it’s how to rise again. We’re already getting back to work. The island’s beauty is still here, and we’re ready to show it to the world,”says Kevin Wright, founder of Montego Bay Photographer LLC and Jamaica Flying Dress.

Carrying On — Stronger Than Before

Despite setbacks, Kevin is pumped up and full of energy to carry on business as usual — and even turn the crisis into an opportunity to spotlight Jamaica as the #1 global destination for the Flying Dress Experience.

While many travelers still associate the flying-dress concept with Santorini, Greece, Kevin is on a mission to shift that perception.

“Santorini started the trend — but Jamaica perfected it,” Kevin says.“We’ve got everything: golden beaches, turquoise waters, jungle cliffs, waterfalls, and that unmatchable Caribbean energy. Jamaica deserves to be on top.”

The Dynamic Duo: Kevin Wright & Kevin Jr.

The comeback wouldn’t be possible without Kevin Jr., Kevin’s talented son and the company’s frontline shooter. Since his father’s migration to the U.S., Kevin Jr. has handled the majority of the company’s flying-dress photoshoots, directing clients, capturing breathtaking visuals, and maintaining the brand’s world-class quality.

“Kevin Jr. is the heartbeat of Jamaica Flying Dress,” says his father proudly. “He’s been out there in the sun, the sand, the wind — making it all happen. Together, we make a remarkable team.”

Now, with power slowly returning and roads reopening, Kevin Jr. is already prepping to resume photo sessions in Montego Bay, Negril, and Ocho Rios. Clients who had to postpone their sessions due to the hurricane will soon see new booking dates and incentives to return.
