Is there a way to turn an overcast day into a sunny one?

How do you turn an overcast day into a sunny day?
I have tried to adjust white balance and pulled up the yellows but I am just not totally happy with the results. The photos are warmer but it lacks the happy sunny glow. Is there a way to adjust/edit the the image so it looks like the photo was taken in a sunny day?

Thanks!

No. The quintessential effect of sunlight is sharp shadows and high contrast. Turning up contrast on a flat picture with no distinct shadows won't help much. Painstaking retouching might achieve something. Can you do perspective drawing?

Return when the light is correct.

if you have this problem on a future wedding gig, be sure to take a strobe.

Dear Richard,

Exactly. There are just too many other clues. Though I often think of the late Terence Donovan's observation: "Have you ever had a client complain that a picture is too f***ing warm?"

Cheers,
