is it all in the editing?

I know that there has to be some element of being a good photographer and trying to get the best or winning shot, one that can be blown up and placed on your wall to act as the best memory of a wonderful wedding day, but how much does editing come into it?

I have always given all the images to the bridal couple on a disc for them to edit and use however they wish, but lately had been editing a small handful of absolute favourite photos to show what a difference editing can make.
Either way, I still like taking wonderful photos that don't have to be edited, but can see the value in changing some elements to make the image really special.

See the examples below of some of my first edits of the above photo.
