Ohh just hanging out in front of The Salvatore Mansion with the man that started it all. It's been a wild ride Mr. Kevin Williamson. I'll catch on you the next one! #vampirediaries

Saying hi to some old friends

That's officially a wrap.

One last pic of the brothers in front of Camaro.

To the fans, thank you for being a part of this journey in our lives. We couldn't have done it without you.

That's an official wrap on the Vampire Diaries. From the 1st day to the last night... I was the last to leave our stages early this morning, not a single crew member, not a sound. To the fans, thank you for it all we would have never been on this journey without you. To all who made this show possible- we did it. 8 years, wow. Thank you all. Love,
Ian
