So Matt Davis has just tweeted this pic saying "About to shoot the first shot/scene of TVD S3 with the lovely @ninadobrev and our awesome crew!" soooo at last yes finally season 3 has begun shooting and september is gettin ever closer and our excruciating wait is slowly slowly coming to an end. Also we found out yesterday that the first episode of season 3 will feature Elenas 18th birthday and looking at this pic it does seem as though nina is dressed up in a cute dress so maybe this is elenas birthday dress perhaps. Guess we will just have to wait till september to find out.
