This photograph of guests at a State Arrival Ceremony held for the president of France was taken by Matthew D'Agostino on December 1, 2022. The arrival ceremony, the first part of the State Visit for President Emmanuel Macron of the French Republic, took place on the South Lawn of the White House Grounds. The American delegation included members of President Joseph R. Biden's Cabinet and Vice President Kamala Harris. President Biden and First Lady Dr. Jill Biden welcomed Macron and Brigette Macron, spouse of the French president, to the White House for the State Visit, which also included a press conference with President Biden and Macron and, later that evening, a State Dinner. This was Biden's first State Visit as president.
