Austrian model with Down syndrome stars in bridal shoot

Australian model Madeline Stuart, who has Down syndrome, has featured in a bridal shoot, continuing her work to challenge society's perceptions of people living with a disability, reports the Daily Mail.

The beautiful photographs, taken at Rixey Manor in Virginia, the US, show Madeline dressed in a series of elegant bridal gowns.

The 18-year-old is effortlessly beautiful as she and her groom sweep across the dance floor, her full-skirt doing little to deter her from spinning hand-in-hand with her partner.

At one point Madeline leans in for a kiss, her hair pulled back in to an elegant knot.
