Definitely looking at the work they have done is the way to go, I'd want to see a full wedding album to get a feel for how they work on the day and the standard of work. If the sample album you're shown contains images for a number of weddings (as many do) ask to see an album of a single wedding. Check that any sample album you're shown actually contains their work, they don't always! I'd also want to know if they shoot on their own or with a second shooter - having shot weddings both ways I know my results are better when shooting with a good second.

As for price I reckon that £700-800 is the bottom end of prices for a decent wedding tog but you might well need to spend more. Budget somewhere between £800-1200 for a package including full coverage and a decent album. If the photographer isn't asking for a deposit at the time of booking, getting you to sign a contract and expecting full payment before the big day then I'd walk away from them!
