President Donald Trump’s first year in office is drawing to a close, and White House photographers have documented just about every day in thousands of photos.

From Trump’s first 100 days, to top-level meetings with cabinet members and foreign dignitaries, the photographers employed by the White House were given access to capture defining moments of Trump’s presidency that the independent press corps were not.

Here are the White House photos that stand out the most from Trump’s first year in office:
