Natural back light from the sun is key. Not mid day, or it would be directly overhead. I'd setup around 5pm and expect to stay till sun down. You'll need either some wireless strobes with battery packs or a bounce, and someone (Friends come in handy here, especially super nice girlfriends). Don't use the silver reflective side of the bounce, it's usually too harsh for the models eyes and causes them to close their eyes... so go for the white side.
If you had a filler hot shoe flash on your body it would be good too.
the bright gradient on the middle top and top left of those photos looks to be done in post, so get the core of what you need and then work your magic in PS.
