California Woman Cusses Out Couple Getting Photos in Protected Habitat and the Internet Loves Her: ‘I’d be emailing this to every email linked to Yosemite’

When one California woman saw someone disrespecting the rules of the Yosemite National Park, she spoke up—turning a couple’s attempt at getting cute photos into an awkward affair.

Posted by Yosemite_Love on TikTok, she shares that a couple were trying to get photos with a professional photographer. However, the area they trespassed had “signs everywhere” indicating it was off-limits to restoration attempts.

“I love Yosemite and I will always call this [expletive] out when I see it,” Yosemite_Love writes on TikTok. And indeed she does.

Yosemite_Love tells the group the meadow is closed. “Cus you’re trampling the grass and it’s not supposed to walked in.” From her video, the meadow looks incredibly dry, in addition to numerous paths made, possibly from other people ignoring the same signs.

“Yall are just going to sit there and smile like you ain’t [expletive] up.” When a bystander notes the couple looks “gorgeous,” Yosemite_Love doesn’t care. “They’re out there trampling nature is what they’re doing.” She then takes a jab at photographers, declaring them the “worst” of Yosemite’s visitors.

At the end of her video, Yosemite_Love continues on, shouting loud enough for the couple to hear, “I’ll be that mother[expletive] who calls them out. I don’t give two [expletive]. That [expletive] ain’t right and they know it.”

Yosemite_Love’s TikTok video gets people fired up online: ‘The entitlement is crazy!!’

Many commenters coming to Yosemite_Love’s TikTok video joined her in condemning the couple as well as the photographer. What viewers then wondered was: What could they do about stopping this?

“That photographer should be banned from the park,” TikTok user Dan wrote. One viewer in the thread noted the photographer seemed “unfazed” by Yosemite_Love’s protest, speculating that she’s done this before. “Exactly. And it’s not just her. It’s clear she’s directing clients to ignore the signs as well.”

Another viewer, TikTok user Carrie Sanders, scolded the couple. “The entitlement is crazy!!” she wrote. “I would have found a Ranger so that photographer can never do that [expletive] again.” To this, Yosemite_Love stated there weren’t any park rangers around to speak with. However, one user suggested giving them the GPS location, as well as the footage.

“Is this not a federal offense?” TikTok user Happytohauntyou asked. A viewer claiming to work in wildlife resource management stated it was indeed a federal felony.

“I’d be emailing this to every email linked to Yosemite,” wrote TikTok user Voidy. Yosemite_Love liked the post. It’s a good suggestion too, considering the more people bring it to a park ranger’s attention, the more likely something can be done about it.

The sad and frustrating part is there being plenty of other locations at national parks allowing foot traffic. A few photographers in the comments pointed this out. So really, was stomping on nature for some silly couple’s photos worth it? Given the response online, people who respect nature don’t think so.
