So, I shot this yesterday. This was my first time doing something like this. Any CC is greatly appreciated.
It was pretty dark out, so I had her light herself with my phone so I could focus manually then time the jump. D700 50mm at ƒ/2.5 1/160 sec at ISO 2500. Speedlight was at 1/8th power about 15 feet behind her.

This is beautiful.
Great shot! I love the way the backlight rims her head and hair, in addition to the shoot through of the dress. The light reflecting from her dress gives just a hint of light onto the porch. I wonder how it would be if the flash was aimed a little higher and the ground was also dark?
I love the way you captured the model in her jump; very graceful.
