Swift 3.0 Answer

let photoAsset = asset
        let manager = PHImageManager.default()
        var options: PHImageRequestOptions?
        options = PHImageRequestOptions()
        options?.resizeMode = .exact
        options?.isSynchronous = true
        manager.requestImage(
            for: photoAsset,
            targetSize: PHImageManagerMaximumSize,
            contentMode: .aspectFill,
            options: options
        ) { [weak self] result, _ in
            completion(result)
        }

options?.isSynchronous = true is very important

BOOL synchronous; // return only a single result, blocking until available (or failure). Defaults to NO
