I would check out what jared platt offers: http://www.plattstore.com/category_s/21.htm

I do not use many presets these days other than the ones I have made, but I think Jared's might be a good place to start if you are wanting something.

My favorite presets are the ones that I take the time to make on my own.

I agree...but I also understand that there are a ton of people who cannot do that or have no idea where to start.+

Try the pret-e-porter collection of Stylemypic presets http://www.stylemypic.com/products/adobe-lightroom-presets/smp-pret-e-porter-collection/

It has most of the popular styles that you see in wedding photography today, and only adjustment needed is the exposure(which varies with every image).

Looking at the example photos they seem to be mostly gear towards landscape stuff. Though I do have DuChemin's most recent book and there are some people photos among the landscape stuff. If you buy the book you get his presets for free. It's a good read.

I think it generally depends on the look you want.

I know people who still use FloraBella. I personally use VSCO presents that I tweak as necessary.

I'd like to formally invite all of you to now ridicule me for using VSCO. Let the hazing begin.

There is no best preset out there. One preset might be one person's treasure, but the other one's garbage.

When I was using Nikon, I spent 3-5 months to tweek and settle on a preset that I like.

After I get the Canon system, it took me four months to make a new preset that I like, because of the color difference between Nikon and Canon.

Spend some time and make your own preset. Then you could have a unique style.

nut'n wrong with vsco. It's imitating a mood which has lasted. When today's style changes, people will still be looking for the film look.

Lolz, quote from my wedding photog buddy: "Yeah, I like to use VSCO since they make the photos look more expensive". I personally try not to filter anything and just tweak curves, exposure, and some minor things. I think I only use filters/actions/presets if I don't take a shot exactly right and it needs something more to make it viable. Just my opinion though.

VSCO probably gives the best "tools", but you could build them yourself in time. I use my own presets based on VSCO curves and film calibrations only. Everything else is purely my settings.
