What is the best setting to capture Homecoming pictures?

I have an EOS Rebel t3i with the manufacturers lens. Looking to take typical couple pictures with a fountain, gazebo, train and on the train tracks with full sun.

I usually stick to the standard settings. Had someone change my settings once and the could definitely see a difference in the quality. TIA

Since you have adequate light, I would actually suggest using a Smaller aperture (set the camera to Aperture Priority and select your aperture). This will help you get multiple subjects in focus, plus a smaller aperture (ie. f/8) will increase the sharpness of the kit lens.

Use a single AF point. Review images in-camera to check focus and exposure (and people’s expressions).

I like to shoot bursts to capture more expressions, and also in case people blink. You’ll be amazed how much people move in such a short period of time!

Happy shooting, and good luck!
