Lets talk about this natural scene
Bring your own light. The sun provides so much light you say, why should I bring more? Because the sun can only provide single direction light, and often times it won’t be in the direction you need it. Additionally, you’ll need to fill in shadows on faces from late morning through mid-afternoon sun. Speedlights are the easiest and most portable, triggering them using remote / radio triggers like PocketWizards is the most reliable. Utilizing modifiers like softboxes and umbrellas on lightstands will depend on the shoot and your desired look, but keep in mind that both turn a speedlight on a lightstand into a kite if it’s even the slight bit windy out.
