One bounced on-camera, one off-camera as a back/rim/hair light.
I've done it this way for years, and I think I used to be much closer to Ron Dillon's examples above, but in recent years I've gone with a much more subtle approach. I'll keep that back light as high as possible, up to the top of my 13 foot stand if I can, and I dial the power down fairly low. Even when I'm shooting directly toward it, the back light is rarely in the frame since it is so high.

Thanks for the info, Brett. I think I like the look of this style, it separates them from the background without being distracting from their faces. With the on camera bounce, are you shooting it straight at the ceiling, and do you use the bounce card as well?
