If you need label to display message. Add a label on the page and set its attribute visible = false in aspx and use the code below:

protected void btnSubmit_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {
    if(SaveRecordsToDataDatabase())
    {
       If(UploadImage())
       {

           showMessage("Save successfull",true);
       }
       else
       {
          showMessage("Save failed",false);
       }
    }
    else
       {
          showMessage("Save failed",false);
       }
}

private bool UploadImage()
{
  // you upload image code..
}

private bool SaveRecordsToDatabase()
{
  // db save code
}

private void showMessage(string message, bool success)
{
    lblMsg.visible = true; // here lblMsg is asp label control on your aspx page.
    lblMsg.FontBold = true;
    if(success)
       lblMsg.ForeColor = Color.Green;
    else
       lblMsg.ForeColor = Color.Green;
    lblMsg.Text = message;
}

For consistency you can use Transaction in above code so as to prevent save operation if image upload fails. Otherwise its your choice. The new code with Transaction will be , given below:

 protected void btnSubmit_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {

using(TransactionScope scope = new TransactionScope())
{
        if(SaveRecordsToDataDatabase())
        {
           If(UploadImage())
           {

               showMessage("Save successfull",true);
           }
           else
           {
              showMessage("Save failed",false);
           }
        }
        else
           {
              showMessage("Save failed",false);
           }
    }
    scope.complete()
}

Here to refer transaction scope, add reference System.Transactions.
