If you shoot raw and use lightroom or similar program. You can bring the sky back down with a graduated filter option and adjust just it's exposure or combinations of settings. So, you would expose for the couple and fix the sky in post. Most of the time you can bring back at least some clouds. Unless it's way overexposed / blown out. Or if you don't mind the little extra time. Change the sky completely in post!
With digital, expose for the subject (using RAW). And you can fix or change just about anything in post! Now having proper lighting to begin with, means less time in post. But sometimes you don't have the equipment or mother nature just doesn't want to cooperate. The extra time in post is the fix!
