I want to create buttons with images and text inside. For example, i would use different images and text for buttons like 'Browse folders' and 'Import'.

One of the options would be to use a template. I had a look at similar question

Creating an image+text button with a control template?

But is there any way by which I can bind the source of image without using a dependency property or any other class?

It doesn't have to be that complicated. Something as simple as putting a StackPanel inside a button will do the trick:

<Button>
  <StackPanel>
    <TextBlock>My text here</TextBlock>
    <Image Source="some.jpg" Stretch="None" />
  </StackPanel>
</Button>

Then you can configure the StackPanel to control where the text should appear, alignment, etc.
