Simple lighting setups work great outside when you already have the sun as one of the lights.
Before getting the photo above you need to plan and do some test shots.
I recommend putting the Strobe opposite the sun and use the sun as a hair light to help create separation from the background.

I metered the scene and then added the strobe at 1 stop less than the scene.
Just be sure no one comes between the strobe and the people and always have someone standing next to the strobe so that a strong gust of wind doesn't blow it over. Also this person can be sure the flash is firing.

All comments are reviewed.This is done primarily to eliminate spamming. Please be patient, I maybe on assignment and unable to review right away.
But to increase meaningful conversation, sometimes it’s necessary to reduce the not-so-meaningful bits. Here are the kinds of things we’ve been deleting in recent posts. Please avoid these types of comments:
One-word comments like “Cool!” or “Thanks!” While we appreciate the congrats, we’d love to hear more about what exactly you love, and (even more importantly) why.
Shameless self-promotion. Comments that contain links to your site within the body or otherwise encourage folks to visit your blog are a no-no. If you’d like to increase traffic to your blog, there are other places than here to do that.
Multiple comments by one author. We’re glad you want to be engaged, but please give others a chance to speak, too.
Really long comments. Let’s just say that if you need to take more than three breaths to read your comment, it’s probably too long.
