  I am copying this from a previous request on the same subject.

It all depends on the lighting at the time. Just meter off the sky, not the couple, and you will get your silhouette. I would suggest using a small f/stop so you can get the greatest depth of field and bracket your shots, 1 stop over and under. Then, take a meter reading off the sunset and one off the couple. Average that reading and shoot one shot at that reading and bracket 1 stop over and under. You will get varying degrees of silhouette. Choose the one or 2 you like the best.
