Searched didn't come up with much.

I really want to work on my toning. I've seen some really beautiful stuff lately from wedding/engagement/family photographers. Is there a place I can look for tutorials, or Lightroom Presets.. I really don't want to use presets I want to learn to tone my own stuff.

Here are a few images I absolutely love the toning on:

You can get some presets in camera for that. Just a heads up!.....I know you can get some picture style presets for Canon on the internet for free that do similar looks just like the one's you posted.

Try looking at the website, phlearn.com for color toning and cinematic color grading video tutorials. You can also try those same terms on You Tube and Google. You'll get plenty of suggestions there.
     You may want to eschew doing incamera processing as the resulting jpeg can't be change without much degradation to the resulting image. Starting with RAW files and applying any color toning as one of the last steps, as layers, in Photoshop would give you more flexibility.

No, not really. Presets never work if you don't know what you doing. Toning depends on original image, because colors are mixing to produce another color. If preset works for light green grass, it would never work for dark green grass. You need tuts about painting not about toning. You would not find any normal tutorials about photography toning. It was movies prerogative.
