It's fairly easy to do this in a Windows Store app by using the async functionality. You would set your image source to your loading image (maybe using the ms-appx protocol and loading it from your package) while you use a HttpClient to download the larger image for example. Here is a sample on how to use HttpClient asynchronously.

Per comment: You can use the ProgressRing class and change to the image when you get the ImageOpened event. See this example.
